Methods of Submitting Your Financial Information

NCM® Associates Financial Statement Submission Guide 3

Methods of Submitting Your Financial Information

The use of electronic data transmission is a secure, efficient and reliable data transfer service that not only saves time and resources when creating your composite, it also creates a more accurate and precise product for you and your management team. Therefore, if you have the capability to upload your financial statements in .TXT file format via your group web page, we encourage you to do so for these reasons and to avoid statement processing fees associated with manual data entry of files received in other formats, including PDF and Excel. If you have questions, please contact your group coordinator.

It is important to make note of your Composite Run Date so you are prepared to send us your statement by 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the day prior to your composite run date.

Manufacturer Electronic Data Transmission NCM has obtained permission from certain manufacturers to receive dealership operating statement data directly from them. This will benefit your dealership in receiving faster, more accurate services and will eliminate the need for you to send your financial statement to our office each month. If your franchise is included below and you wish to utilize this service at no additional cost, refer to the Manufacturer Electronic Data Transmissions section for complete details.

• America: Audi, Chrysler, GM, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Nissan or Subaru

• Canada: Audi, BMW (R&R only), GM or Chrysler Uploading Financial Statements If you are unable to send us your financial statement through a Manufacturer Data Transmission, then you can upload your financial statement directly to NCM. Look for details in the applicable sections of this Guide. Supplemental Data In order to make your composite more useful, we include some data that is not included in your financial statement. The financial statement supplement, which will furnish us this information, is available online and we ask that you submit them each month. Refer to the section Submitting Your Financial Statement Supplement, for complete details. Website Reporting Forms

Website Reporting Forms are utilized to capture the necessary information to generate composites for industry specific groups who do not submit financial statements to NCM. The Website Reporting Form is located online. Refer to the section Submitting Your Website Reporting Form, for complete details.

Uploading for Multiple Services If you are using the same financial statement for multiple services, you need only upload your financial statement once.

Please note that these transmissions only occur once per evening; therefore, you must transmit your statement at least a day prior to your composite run date.
