Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management

Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management centralizes management of all period-end close activities enabling organizations to manage and improve their entire financial close process. It enables the management of all financial close cycle tasks including ledger and sub-ledger close, data loading and mapping, financial consolidation, account reconciliation, tax/treasury and internal and external reporting processes – any task associated with the extended financial close.

The Close Manager is a task management solution. Tasks can be anything that needs to be done during the close process – whether in the transaction system, general ledger, consolidation system or reporting system. Employees are assigned to each task and the tasks are given a due date relative to each period end date so it is also easy to identify bottlenecks in the process. The central dashboard enables process monitoring, immediate action on errors and delays and process analysis to evaluate and improve close-cycle effectiveness.

The Account Reconciliation Manager is dedicated to the management of account reconciliations. It helps companies reduce risk by providing real-time visibility into the performance of reconciliations and ensuring that all reconciliations prepared are properly qualified. It also helps companies streamline and optimize performance by automating certain reconciliation tasks and supporting risk-based reconciliation cycles.
