What is multi-entity financial reporting automation?

It is consolidating many subsidiaries into one reporting model automatically: local ledgers are mapped, currencies translated and intercompany eliminations recorded with supporting evidence.

What about entities on different charts of accounts?

Each local chart is mapped once into the group model, so subsidiaries keep their own structure while the group view stays consistent.

Can local teams still report locally?

Yes. Local statutory reporting runs from the same model, so local and group numbers can never drift apart.

The end of the spreadsheet-chain consolidation nightmare

Free trial now

Multi-entity financial reporting is automated when subsidiaries, currencies and charts of accounts normalize into one consolidated model — with every elimination evidenced.

01The problem

For multinational organisations, month-end close and global reporting is a high-wire act: dozens of subsidiaries, different currencies, different ERP systems and completely different charts of accounts.

The problem: consolidation on a chain of mappings

Legacy reporting tools push the complexity onto your controllers, one workbook at a time.

A chain only one person understands

Days disappear into VLOOKUPs and hand-built links, and a single changed row in a subsidiary ledger can break the master consolidation file.

Manual currency translation

Translations, intercompany eliminations and local GAAP adjustments are re-keyed each cycle, so every close starts from a fresh chance to get it wrong.

Practically impossible to audit

Consolidation logic hides inside spreadsheet cells, so proving how a group figure was built means reverse-engineering someone else's formulas.

The solution: DECIMA multi-entity financial reporting

DECIMA handles the complexity inside the engine, not on the spreadsheet.

Algorithmic normalisation

The normalisation layer ingests disparate charts of accounts from every subsidiary and maps them to your master corporate ledger. No manual linking required.

Continuous global consolidation

Currency translation, intercompany eliminations and varying local standards are handled natively in the model, so the group view is always current.

Unbreakable audit trails

Because the logic lives in the engine rather than hidden cells, every consolidated figure traces back to its originating subsidiary transaction in a single click.

Consolidation handled in the model

Decentralised ledgers go in; one canonical group view comes out — no mapping workbook in between.

How Multi-Entity Financial Reporting runs on the engine

Five stages that run continuously — not a quarterly scramble reassembled by hand.

01
Ingest
Governed connectors pull ledgers, sub-ledgers and source systems into the engine, with every field traced back to where it came from.
02
Model
The engine maps accounts, entities and disclosure requirements for Multi-Entity Financial Reporting into one live model instead of a set of linked files.
03
Draft
Narrative, tables and tagging are generated from the model, so a change in the numbers rewrites the output rather than the reverse.
04
Validate
Rule checks, tie-outs and control tests run inline as the draft forms, flagging breaks at the point they appear.
05
Sign off
Reviews, approvals and evidence are captured as work happens, so the audit trail for Multi-Entity Financial Reporting is complete the moment you file.

What changes

The measurable difference once Multi-Entity Financial Reporting stops being a manual assembly job.

01
Entity, currency and account mappings live in the model, so onboarding a new subsidiary is configuration rather than a spreadsheet rebuild.
02
Intercompany eliminations and translation run automatically with the workings exposed for review.
03
Group and local views come from the same numbers, ending the reconciliation between them.
