With Account Reconciliation now included in both the Standard and Enterprise baskets of EPM cloud goodies, the temptation is to tear the packaging and start building. However, even Close & Consolidation experts can have trouble bridging the knowledge gap between more familiar applications (e.g., HFM, Financial Consolidation and Close, etc.) and Oracle’s “one-stop shop” reconciliation tool. Incorrect assumptions made early on in the application design can be troublesome later as the project rolls on. Instead, provide your company with a strong foundation by having a firm grasp on functionality, best practice recommendations, and setups for scalability. In this webinar, we discuss how to elicit actionable requirements, review overlooked out-of-the-box functionality, and account for key design concepts in order to establish a strategic enterprise solution for both today and “tomorrow”—giving you the keys to the kingdom!
