The Asset & Liability Analysis template can be used as a key element of the Monthly Reporting process:
A Brief Description of the Asset & Liability Analysis with Variances and Trends Template Balance Sheet Analysis reports like the one seen in the image above are interactive and parameter driven and typically contain sections with variance metrics, trend charts and a report component with detailed figures. One of the important features that aid the user in the analysis process is the ability to quickly see top three balance sheet account categories for short term assets, long term assets, short term liabilities and long term liabilities. Asset & Liability Analysis with Variances and Trends templates are often used in conjunction with profit & loss reports, trended balance sheets and dashboards, cash flow statements, as well as balance sheet and cash flow budget and forecast input forms.
Data Integration to Transaction Systems Most organizations these days want automated and streamlined planning, reporting and analysis. However, many of the benefits described earlier rely on best of breed Corporate Performance Management (CPM) tools and/or Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities as well as data marts or data warehouses that use pre-built integrations to the organization’s ERP system. Oftentimes, they also need integrations to other key data sources like CRM, subscription systems, payroll tools, etc. Modern, cloud-based ERPs like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance (D365 Finance), Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (D365 BC), Sage Intacct, Acumatica, Netsuite and SAP have robust APIs which allow for dynamic integrations to CPM and BI tools that are fully automated and flexible to run on a schedule or on-demand.
