Use cases
Built for groups that have outgrown their tools
From ten legal entities to well over a hundred.
Use case 1
Moving the close off Excel
- The group
- 10–20 legal entities in two or three currencies, consolidated in spreadsheets by a small finance team, often already using Qlik for management reporting.
- The challenge
- Eliminations are rebuilt by hand each period, the workbook depends on one person, and every audit question means reconstructing a number.
- With ACR
- The close runs as one automated flow on the Qlik platform the group already owns. Eliminations, translation and NCI are calculated for you, and every figure drills down to its source.
Use case 2
Multi-tier holdings with minority partners
- The group
- A parent, intermediate holding companies by country or sector, and operating companies beneath them, some co-owned with partners.
- The challenge
- Effective ownership shifts at every tier. Investment and equity must be eliminated and NCI calculated level by level, which is slow, manual and easy to get wrong.
- With ACR
- Multi-tier consolidation, with investment/equity elimination and group and minority shares calculated at every level. Automated and fully traceable.
Use case 3
Multiple currencies, multiple ERPs
- The group
- Subsidiaries across several countries, each with its own ERP and functional currency.
- The challenge
- Translation and the translation reserve live in side files, intercompany balances rarely match on the first pass, and no one can see the full picture down to the transaction.
- With ACR
- Trial balances and line items from every ERP in one model, automated translation and CTA, and ACR Genie to reconcile intercompany differences and trace them to the invoice, whichever ERP it came from.
Use case 4
Restructuring your reporting for IFRS 18
- The group
- An IFRS reporter that must present its 2027 P&L in the new operating, investing and financing categories, with restated 2026 comparatives.
- The challenge
- Remapping the chart of accounts and restating the prior year in spreadsheets is a one-off project that has to be right the first time.
- With ACR
- The report builder maps each GL account to the new structure, and ACR restates prior periods automatically.
