A best in class ledger will streamline your reconciliation process and provide the necessary details for analysis and will improve reporting. Additionally, it will keep the general ledger general, increase controls, remove redundant details as well as reduce IT dependency for the extraction of data. Plus, learn how you will be able to leverage the redesign of General Ledger in CloudSuite to quickly gain business insights. The power is now in your hands to establish industry specific dimensions that drive your business.
