NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SkyStem LLC, a leading provider of automated month-end close and account reconciliation software, is pleased to announce their second feature on FMStv. In this episode, SkyStem's Head of Sales, Nancy Wu, discusses how to unleash the full potential of balance sheet reconcilements. As head of sales at an automated month-end close solution provider, Ms. Wu explains how balance sheet reconilements are one of the top fraud detection and prevention controls. However, accountants are not usually trained on how to properly prepare reconcilements, which causes push back on meeting month-end close deadlines and leaves room for errors.
"Whenever possible, always support balances with third party documents -- bank statements, government documents, information that comes from vendors or customers. That is typically considered most credible," says Ms. Wu. "If third party documents are not available, then we should look for internal system documents, such as subledgers. When that is not available, you then resort to internally generated analysis -- such as derived calculations, models, estimates etc., or where certain information is tracked."
The episode continues to outline ways on how accountants can prevent risk during the month-end close process, suggesting automation opportunities to reduce time. By switching to automation, accounting team's can turnover any previous risk issues with quick and easy implementation that wont disrupt current deadlines.
