Current situation

Cogent Europe is part of a US group. They acquired Mona Group Reporting a few years ago for the monthly consolidated reporting of the European subgroup.
On the occasion of the Users’ Day 2014 in Luxembourg, they explained how Cogent leveraged Mona Group Reporting across the group to provide relevant information and documentation to several stakeholders (management, analysts, tax authorities, auditors) efficiently and perform a monthly hard close.

The Solution

Once confined to the consolidation of the European sub-group, the usage of Mona Group Reporting has been spread across the group to provide a variety of reports in several currencies:
·         Worldwide consolidated financials in USD
·         Europe consolidated package in EUR
·         American consolidation in USD, Canadian financials in CAD …
·         A regional consolidated view in USD
·         A roll forward revenue (revenue by type of client, type of sale, type of product)
·         A rolling budget
The data is automatically imported into Mona Group Reporting from accounting systems and databases. It includes both financial data and non-financial data and is used to create monthly closing binders and management binders, local and worldwide consolidated reporting.  A “flash report” consisting in a revenue analysis by product type and by entity is delivered at D+11.
This is made possible through the use of a set of functions and processes available in Mona Group Reporting:
·         The linked categories: they allow the creation of different environments that share the same input data. This functionality is very useful when it comes to create different consolidation scopes (i.e sub-consolidations) or consolidations in different currencies. For instance: the Canadian flash revenue is produced in CAD, the European flash revenue is in EUR, while the consolidated flash revenue is in USD with only one import into Mona Group Reporting.
·         The “point of views” makes it possible to have a segmented view of consolidated data in the group currency. In the case of Cogent, the Point of view is used for a regional consolidated view.
·         The “dimensions” are used for detailed activities reporting, revenue and customer analysis.

The Result

This highly automated process starts with a single data entry point and offers multiple output possibilities, based on different consolidation scopes and currencies.
The system also offers endless analysis capability: per points of view, per category, dimensions …
The process provides the group CFO with comprehensive and easy-to-navigate data to monitor performance. He has the possibility to drill down into the data.
The system produces a set of various reports, in a timely manner (monthly hard close at D+15!).
