Close to report
period-end close and group reporting on one set of data
Audit-ready access
segregation of duties and controls you can show an auditor
Spend to policy
purchasing, travel and expenses approved by the same rules
One partner
SAP, security and INK apps under one team
Your firm, end to end

Frequently asked questions
Do you implement core banking systems?
No. We work on the SAP side: finance and group reporting, procurement, HR, access control and security. Data from other systems can be brought into SAP reporting.
Can SAP handle IFRS and regulatory reporting?
Yes. S/4HANA supports parallel ledgers for IFRS and local rules, and SAP Group Reporting handles multi-entity consolidation. We set up the reports your regulators and auditors need from that data.
How do you make SAP access audit-ready?
With SAP GRC Access Control for role design, segregation-of-duties checks and access reviews, and SAP Process Control for controls testing and evidence.
Can our CFO and CHRO see figures without waiting for month-end packs?
Yes. Finance & People Intelligence gives pre-built dashboards on SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Business Data Cloud, connected to S/4HANA and SuccessFactors.
