The Challenge
Rabobank had used the same software for consolidation for over fifteen years. At the beginning of 2012, however, it decided to replace its multiple worldwide installations of Hyperion Enterprise with a single, Web-based consolidation application. Its requirements included:
- Integrated process controls and electronic sign-offs on data
- Guided workflow and task support
- Intuitive end-user tools
- Full audit trails on SOX-critical data
- Enhanced reporting and analysis tools
CCH Tagetik Solution
- One unified, Web-based, out-of-the-box solution
- Decentralized intercompany matching process
- Extensive security, process support and audit trail
- Scalability for management accounting and budget processes
- Support for multiple reporting needs
Benefits
Higher data consistency and quality
The single Web-based application improved the consistency/quality of its data to streamline the entire process and a faster close
More correct, consistent data
The financial controlling department now receives more correct, consistent data, which it uses for analysis
Better controls through built-in workflow
Thanks to the integrated process controls, Rabobank minimized the manual work involved in the consolidation process
Accuracy of the information
The heart of the application is a guided, step-bystep submission process with strict validations for monthly/annual information
Train-the-trainer program
CCH Tagetik and Rabobank later developed a train-the-trainer program so that users could conduct further trainings internally on their own
FINREP
Rabobank extended its application in 2014 to include the new FINREP regulatory reporting requirements
