Closure Challenges
Every business entity that plans for closures, has countless things to attend to. And, importantly the time involved to carry out such activity is exhaustive; from anything between 3 months to a year’s time.
Most companies execute the closure process using a checklist, which is maintained manually, typically in Excel format. Each entity (department) within an organization is required to close its books, involving multiple steps executed by a team of people. Often different entities within a company are required to manage closure subsets, like divisions across different geographical locations. Larger the company footprint, the bigger the effort involved.
Getting measured is getting managed
Over the last couple of years, there has been an accelerated trend of temporary closure, accelerated due to the repercussions of the pandemic. Companies that use manual processes, use many excel checklists. With depleted manpower, managing a closure process involving myriad financial activities is error-prone and time-consuming. Getting a proper audit-based measure helps in managing the entity closure process. One that can benefit from standardizing, centralizing, and automating.
Implementing SAP helps with an audit-based consolidation of system data. Companies using SAP can schedule task execution and monitor the results, ensuring the absence of issues while running tonnes of tasks. Armed with a set of critical information, a business can then decide and execute the entity closure in sequential order, ensuring a smooth closure.
