Anaplan Accelerator: Financial Consolidations & Analytics (FC&A)

Accordion’s Financial Consolidations & Analytics (FC&A) Anaplan Accelerator is a fully built financial consolidations solution based on best practices: aggregation, intercompany eliminations, cash flow reporting, non-standard ownership, journal entries, insightful analytics, and flexible FX.

Real-time Financial Consolidations to Cut Processing Time and Speed Up the Close

Report on P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow by configuring to your chart of accounts
Aggregation through entity structures and other segments without running rules or scripts
Perform and track intercompany eliminations at the first common parent
Apply partial ownership logic that can be changed by month to allow for flexibility over time

Clearly Understand the Impact of FX on Your Business

Enable multiple currencies to see full company financials translated and reported
Apply average or end of month rates, as well as currency overrides on the balance sheet for areas such as APIC or investment in subsidiaries
See the impact of FX movements on the cash flow
Easily apply alternate rate sets to enable “what if” currency analysis on the fly

Streamline Reporting and Auditability with Easy to Understand Cash Flow

Use balance sheet and P&L data to calculate cash flow in real time as balances change
Map changes in balance sheet accounts to specific movement categories and cash flow accounts
Allow end-users to view mappings and better understand how the cash flow lines are derived
Adjust movement categories from the default mapping in areas where mappings cannot fully classify account movements (PP&E for example)

Better Understand Data Changes With In-Model Topside Journal Entries and Robust Financial Controls

Book journal entries to adjust data sourced from general ledgers, make reclassing entries, or adjust data to satisfy varying reporting requirements (IFRS vs. GAAP)
Configure workflow to allow for separation of duties between creating, reviewing, and posting entries
Leverage Anaplan’s built in audit features to see complete history for any data point changes
Easily roll back the system to any point in time, rather than relying on periodic backups

Manage Your End-to-End Close Process With Task Management and Account Reconciliations

Utilize the close task checklist to quickly understand bottlenecks in monthly close cycles
Task management includes user assignment, workflow, approvals, and reporting
Perform and sign off on account reconciliations, with ability to explain balances, assign risk ratings, and track accountability
Import general ledger and subledger balances to perform balance comparisons, or use account analysis to explain balance changes
