Financial Data Quality Differentiated

Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management helps finance users increase their confidence in the numbers and lowers their cost of compliance by eliminating data integrity risks associated with collecting, mapping, validating, and moving critical financial data from across the enterprise.

Financial data quality management is a business issue, and is defined as the practice by which companies can effectively and consistently combine the following four factors:

• Financial data collection and transformation• Repeatable financial processes• Internal controls• Audit trails

Points of Failure in Data Load

Manual data entry Unbalanced files Submission error

Duplicate data Data load failure Data mapping

Incomplete data Data validation Consistency check

FDM Demonstration

End users “Import” their source financial data (from files, DB’s or Oracle EBS) into FDM eliminating all manual changes ensuring complete accuracy.

Imports from Any Source

Invalid Dimension Map Problems are identified for easy correction. FDM allows for simple or complex cross-dimensional and conditional mapping of data.

Smart Dimensional Mapping

End users are given feedback on the quality, accuracy, and completeness of the data that they loaded to Planning, so they are accountable, and can participate in the data integrity management process. Additional adjustment data may be loaded via flat or Excel files.

User Driven Data Validation Rules

Audit trail includes the ability to drill back from Planning accounts to source data, whether the data is contained within a file or DB/EBS.

Traceable from “Source to Report”

Users can “drill down” into GL detail for a single location and intersection. The Open Source System Link will be visible when sourcing data from EBS. Source data will also be available via a snapshot file.

Traceable from “Source to Report”

EBS landing page is shown with same context as drill-back page, the account balance detail is available from the EBS landing page.

Traceable from “Source to Report”

FDM Reports

The Intersection drill-down report allows for a view of all current source to target maps for all dimensions in one view, with values. The report is available in PDF, Word, Excel, HTML and RTF formats by default.

Visibility Through Dashboards

The Close and Controls documentation status report provides further visibility into the process. See quickly who has loaded data into Planning & who has reviewed and then submitted their attestation.

Sarbanes Oxley control questionnaires allow end users to attest to the validity of financial data.

Business process areas are grouped into sections and questions can be tied to activities for monitoring and testing. Built in workflow allows for promotion of responses to the next review level.

These questions apply to Section 302 Review Certification, as well as monitoring the 404 control framework.
