Achieve a Faster and More Accurate Financial Close with Trintech

As financial organizations continue to become more complex, compliance-focused and technology-driven, there is an even greater pressure on the Office of Finance to ensure the financial close is managed in the most efficient, effective way possible. Without the right technology, organizations often struggle with a lack of standardized processes, bottlenecks in their workflow, and poor visibility, further complicating the process.

To drive down effort and costs while ensuring the integrity of the period-end numbers, Trintech has pioneered the development of Financial Corporate Performance Management (FCPM) software to optimize the Record to Report process through Risk Intelligent Robotic Process Automation™.

Trintech’s Risk Intelligent Robotic Process Automation

For over 25 years, Trintech has been driving innovation throughout the Record to Report (R2R) process, being the first to launch a full R2R platform, mobile application, and, most recently, Risk Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RI RPA). RI RPA looks to optimize the financial close process, so that users can go beyond balancing the workload and eliminating manual work, to analyzing the data and applying creative intelligence to tasks such as problem solving and evolving the business. This not only delivers improved value to the business, but is also the type of high value work most likely to attract and retain high quality people.

For example, in terms of reconciliations, a significant improvement can be attained through the reduction of manual activities. Traditionally, there is a tendency to spend most of our time simply gathering data before we can even begin to think about reconciling it. Once the data is finally in the right format, we are burdened by the amount of manual work associated with the matching process. This limits our focus on areas most critical to the business.  RI RPA ensures our effort is turned toward the exceptions. Our priority is to focus on identifying issues that lead to these exceptions, and identifying potential solutions to improve the process so these exceptions decrease over time. By leveraging an RI RPA workflow, you can also push the exceptions through discovery, research and resolution, bringing it back to a single view where all financial statements are reconciled. This leads to an attention on what is important, rather than just simply providing data.

Furthermore, with RI RPA, an effective controls framework underpins the whole financial process and, by unifying all key control components together, it enables a clear audit trail for compliance initiatives. To drive further efficiencies, RI RPA can be utilized not only to lower costs and reduce errors, but also to improve compliance by inspecting, automating and triggering remediation. This provides companies with a way to achieve better financial governance overall.
