What does ARCS do?

  • The automated Reconciliation process, from data collection to reconciliation completion, reduces the risk of manual errors and improves efficiency.
  • Flexible Data Integration that can integrate with a variety of data sources, including ERP systems, spreadsheets, and other data repositories, to help streamline the data collection process.
  • Provides powerful reporting and analytics capabilities that enable users to gain insights into the reconciliation process, identify trends and patterns, and make informed decisions.

ARCS Real World Example

  • A retail organization with many stores and a complex accounting structure. This organization has struggled to reconcile its balance sheets due to the high volume of transactions and the need to consolidate data from multiple sources.
  • With ARCS the organization can automate the reconciliation process and improve the accuracy of their balance sheets. ARCS reduces the risk of errors, can help prevent fraud and improve compliance.

ARCS Use Cases

  • Reconciliation Management creates an efficient, auditable solution that can reduce the time it takes to close “The Books.” Built-in workflow provides insight into who is doing what and when.
  • Intelligent Matching reduces the time and effort to align transactions during the reconciliation process.
    • In accounting, account reconciliation involves comparing the transactions in a company’s general ledger to other data sources, such as bank statements or subsidiary ledgers.
  • Advanced algorithms to automatically match transactions in the general ledger to transactions in other data sources. The system compares transactions based on criteria such as account number, amount, date, and currency. It can even use fuzzy matching to identify transactions that are similar but not exact matches.
  • Manual labor-intensive intercompany reconciliations can be reduced to automated processes that are error-free.

ARCS Challenges

Challenge 1: Manual Effort

  • Account Reconciliation can be a time-consuming and manual process that requires significant effort from accounting and finance professionals.
  • Without a centralized platform for managing the reconciliation process, it can be difficult to track progress and ensure accountability.
  • Manual processes are prone to errors and may not provide the level of visibility and control to meet all requirements

Challenge 2: Complexity

  • Reconciling transactions across multiple data sources can be complex, especially when dealing with large volumes of data or multiple currencies.
  • The reconciliation process may involve multiple stakeholders such as finance, accounting, and operations teams.
  • The need to comply with various accounting standards, regulations, and company policies. These can differ from jurisdiction or industry.

Challenge 3: Compliance

  • Regulations and accounting standards require organizations to perform account reconciliations regularly and accurately.
  • The volume of reconciliations depending on the size of the business can be a very time-consuming and rigorous task which makes room for mistakes and compliance issues.
  • Failing to comply can result in financial penalties and reputational damage. Companies need to be Audit ready at all times.
