PKF O’Connor Davies Launches Automated Financial Statement Assembly Platform
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 05, 2016 -- O’Connor Davies Administration, LLC, a subsidiary of PKF O’Connor Davies, LLP, one of the nation’s fastest growing accounting and advisory firms, announced today the launch of its Automated Financial Statement Assembly Platform (“FSA”), an automated reporting system that creates audit-ready financial statements with complete notes to the financial statements. The platform is the latest tool the Firm has developed to help clients ease the burden of changing SEC guidelines and focus on growing their businesses.
The FSA platform product launch comes on the heels of recent SEC regulation changes that tightened independence rules, now requiring businesses, including private funds, to provide complete and audit-ready financial statements. These modifications have added complexity to and increased the scope of preparing financial statements.
“Investment and wealth management firms are facing increasingly complex and expansive reporting requirements, which end up diverting resources from their critical advisory functions,” said Marc L. Rinaldi, CPA, CEO of O’Connor Davies Administration and Partner-in-Charge of PKF O’Connor Davies Financial Services. “Many firms manage multiple funds and some upwards of 100, which makes reporting requirements increasingly onerous. Our Financial Statement Assembly Platform not only directly responds to those new rules, but it gives back time to advisors and helps them operate their businesses more efficiently.”
“Our FSA Platform automates the entire process, including rolling forward prior years' financial statements and notes to the financial statements,” said Rinaldi. “We have created a unique solution that combines software that handles GAAP disclosure, investment and portfolio accounting and valuation, and workflow. The system significantly reduces the amount of time spent on manual reporting and accelerates audit approval.”
The FSA platform leverages the FundCount software PKF O’Connor Davies currently uses in the Firm’s fund and family office administration practice and addresses consistency from notes and schedules to the financial statements including the schedule of investments. In addition, rounding errors have been eliminated.
