Finance & Accounting

Month-end that runs on overtime, and a control environment that has to hold anyway.

Overview

Accounts payable and receivable, reconciliation, intercompany and reporting. The processes with the hardest deadlines and the least tolerance for an unexplained number.

Where it hurts

  1. 01

    Month-end compression

    The same work, always in the same five days.

  2. 02

    Invoice exceptions

    Matching failures that each need a human and a phone call.

  3. 03

    Audit evidence

    Assembled retrospectively because nothing captured it at the time.
