Financial Consolidation

Aexis is distributor and integrator of financial consolidation solutions providing customers on both the Benelux and French markets with the core financial solutions and service to improve their business performance in real time.

Financial consolidation is often a slow and error prone process that drains organizational resources and delays vital decisions. The problems are formidable - consolidating financial data from diverse locations and across multiple general ledgers, performing multi-currency conversions, untangling outmoded spreadsheet based data collection processes, incorporating changes from reorganizations, mergers, and acquisitions. Our financial consolidation module meets this challenge by streamlining data collection and integration from multiple sources, making the monthly close faster and more efficient. It supports translating and reporting in multiple currencies and turns disparate data into useful, business-critical information. Built-in financial intelligence and management reporting capabilities make results readily available for review, and advanced data collection features eliminate tedious re-keying and expensive error corrections.

With Aexis' financial consolidation software, you can:

* Consolidate data quickly from multiple general ledgers and multiple charts of account?
* Consolidate data from various business perspectives and by multiple structure versions (this year, last year, proposed)?
* Support local and multiple base currency reporting?
* Report on the impact of currency fluctuations (actual, forecast and budget rates)?
* Carry out automated adjustments including minority, inter-company, recurring and miscellaneous?
* Use pre-built reports to interrogate audit trail?
* Look at results with and without adjustments?
* Present information as grids, charts, alerts or colour-coded exceptions?

In order to achieve its Purpose, IFC offers development impact solutions through: firm-level interventions (direct investments and advisory services); standard-setting; and business enabling environment work.

What We Do

IFC fosters sustainable economic growth in developing countries by financing private sector investment, mobilizing capital in the international financial markets, and providing advisory services to businesses and governments.

IFC's Strategic Priorities

IFC emphasizes five strategic priorities for maximizing its sustainable development impact:

* Strengthening its focus on frontier markets, particularly the SME sector;
* Building long-term partnerships with emerging global players in developing countries;
* Addressing climate change, and environment and social sustainability activities;
* Addressing constraints to private sector investment in infrastructure, health, and education; and
* Developing domestic financial markets through institution building and the use of innovative financial products.

For all new investments, IFC articulates the expected impact on sustainable development, and, as the projects mature, IFC assesses the quality of the development benefits realized.
