When you’re reporting across several entities, closing the accounts is only part of the job. You still need to consolidate the figures, work through intercompany balances and currency conversions, and explain the results to management.
For finance teams across the UAE and wider GCC, there’s an opportunity to make that process more connected, from the accounting data through to the finished report pack. That’s what we’ll explore in our upcoming webinar, with a live demonstration of Joiin and time for your questions.
Bring the group picture together
Your entities don’t all need to use the same accounting software to contribute to the same group report. Joiin connects with platforms including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and Zoho Books, bringing their data together for consolidated reporting.
Currency conversions and intercompany eliminations form part of a reporting process you can use each month. There are still adjustments to review and differences to investigate, but you can begin that work with the data already together.
And when a figure changes, connected reporting makes it easier to keep the group view up to date without gathering another round of exports.
Get from a movement to an explanation
Suppose one entity’s operating costs have increased. Before writing your management commentary, you need to understand which accounts contributed and whether the increase reflects an ongoing expense or a one-off charge. You can ask Joiin Intelligence to compare costs between periods and identify the largest movements, then follow up on a particular entity or account.
But the explanation needs checking. Joiin’s reporting tools let you follow a figure through to its underlying journals and the related transaction in your source accounting system, giving you the supporting detail to review.
From there, you can bring the findings into a report pack alongside your reports and charts, ready for the people who need to act on them.
