Expert-defined terms from the Professional Certificate in Excel for Accounting Professionals course at London School of Business and Administration. Free to read, free to share, paired with a professional course.
Accrual Accounting – a method of recognizing revenue and expenses when th… #
Related terms: cash accounting, revenue recognition, expense matching. This concept underpins many regulatory reports because it reflects the true economic activity of an entity. Example: A consulting firm records consulting fees in the month services are delivered, even if the client pays 30 days later. Practical application in Excel: use formulas that pull invoice dates, service dates, and payment dates to calculate accrued amounts automatically. Challenges include handling multi‑currency accruals and ensuring that the timing rules match the specific regulatory framework (e.g., IFRS vs. US GAAP).
Automated Data Extraction – the process of pulling data from source syste… #
Related terms: ETL, API integration, data connectors. Automation eliminates transcription errors and speeds up the preparation of statutory returns. Example: a Power Query connection reads a CSV export from the payroll system each night and appends new rows to a master sheet. Practical application: schedule the query to refresh before the reporting deadline, then use pivot tables to summarise the data for the regulatory filing. Challenges involve managing changes in source file structures, authentication tokens, and data‑privacy compliance.
Audit Trail – a chronological record of every change made to a workbook,… #
Related terms: version control, change log, governance. An audit trail satisfies regulators who require evidence that figures were not tampered with after submission. Example: enabling Excel’s “Track Changes” feature and saving the workbook to a SharePoint library that logs user activity. Practical application: embed a macro that writes a timestamp, user name, and cell address to a hidden “Log” sheet each time a key cell is edited. Challenges include the overhead of large log files, performance impact on complex models, and ensuring the log itself cannot be edited.
Bank Reconciliation – the comparison of a company’s cash ledger with bank… #
Related terms: cash balance, outstanding items, statement of cash flows. Regulators often require evidence that cash balances are accurate and reconciled monthly. Example: an Excel template that imports bank statement CSVs, matches transactions by amount and date, and flags unmatched items in red. Practical application uses formulas like =IFERROR(MATCH(...), “Unmatched”) and conditional formatting to highlight issues. Challenges arise when dealing with high‑frequency transactions, foreign‑exchange adjustments, or when the bank changes its file format.
Business Rules Engine – a set of logical conditions that automatically en… #
Related terms: validation rules, conditional logic, decision matrix. The engine can reject entries that violate statutory limits (e.g., loan‑to‑value ratios). Example: a VBA routine that checks each loan entry against a maximum 80 % LTV rule and writes “Non‑compliant” in a status column. Practical application enables the accountant to focus on exceptions rather than manually scanning every row. Challenges include keeping the rule set up‑to‑date with evolving regulations and avoiding overly complex code that becomes hard to maintain.
Compliance Dashboard – a visual summary (charts, gauges, KPI cards) that… #
Related terms: KPI, scorecard, reporting portal. Dashboards give senior management a quick view of whether filings are on track. Example: a slicer‑driven Excel dashboard that displays the percentage of completed tax returns, pending audit items, and days until filing deadlines. Practical application uses dynamic named ranges, sparklines, and the “Insert → Chart” feature to refresh automatically as data changes. Challenges involve ensuring data integrity, preventing “chart fatigue,” and aligning visual metrics with the exact wording of regulator expectations.
Data Mapping – the process of linking fields from source systems to the c… #
Related terms: data transformation, schema, field mapping. Accurate mapping prevents mis‑reporting due to mismatched column headings. Example: a mapping table that lists “ERP_Account_Code” → “XBRL_AccountNumber” and “ERP_Amount” → “XBRL_Amount.” Practical application uses VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to pull source data into the reporting layout, then validates that every required field is populated. Challenges include handling one‑to‑many relationships, changes in the regulatory taxonomy, and documenting the mapping for audit purposes.
Data Validation – built‑in Excel features that restrict the type of data… #
Related terms: input control, data integrity, drop‑down list. Validation reduces errors before they reach the regulatory filing stage. Example: a drop‑down list of permitted expense categories that prevents users from entering “Miscellaneous” where a specific code is required. Practical application combines Data → Data Validation with custom formulas (e.g., =AND(A2>0, A2<1000000)) to enforce business constraints. Challenges include the need to update validation lists when new codes are introduced, and the risk that users bypass validation by copying and pasting values.
Data Warehouse – a centralized repository that stores historical accounti… #
Related terms: OLAP cube, relational database, ETL pipeline. A warehouse provides a single source of truth for regulatory reporting automation. Example: a SQL Server database that houses monthly trial balances, which Excel connects to via Power Query. Practical application allows analysts to pull a “snapshot” of the financial position as of the reporting date, ensuring consistency across multiple filings. Challenges involve the initial build cost, maintaining synchronization with operational systems, and ensuring that the warehouse meets data‑retention policies.
Digital Signature – an electronic method of authenticating a document tha… #
Related terms: electronic seal, PKI, non‑repudiation. Regulators increasingly accept digitally signed filings to reduce paper handling. Example: using Excel’s “Insert → Signature Line” to attach a certificate‑based signature to the final report before export to PDF. Practical application automates the signature step with a macro that prompts the authorized signer and embeds the signature automatically. Challenges include managing certificate expiration, ensuring compatibility with regulator portals, and providing audit evidence that the signature was applied after the final data lock.
Exception Reporting – a focused report that lists items that deviate from… #
Related terms: outlier analysis, variance report, exception list. Exception reports direct attention to high‑risk areas that need manual review. Example: a sheet that flags any expense line exceeding 10 % of the budgeted amount, using conditional formatting to colour the cell red. Practical application leverages formulas such as =IF(Actual>Budget*1.1, “Exception”, “OK”) and aggregates the exceptions for a senior‑management briefing. Challenges include defining appropriate thresholds, avoiding “alert fatigue,” and ensuring that flagged items are investigated and documented.
Financial Close – the set of activities performed at period‑end to finali… #
Related terms: month‑end, close checklist, posting cycle. The close process feeds the data used in regulatory filings. Example: an Excel checklist that tracks completion of journal entry posting, accrual calculation, and variance analysis, with each step linked to a macro that timestamps completion. Practical application integrates the checklist with the reporting workbook so that the close cannot be marked complete until all required data is present. Challenges involve coordinating across multiple departments, handling late‑arriving data, and ensuring that the close timeline aligns with regulator deadlines.
General Ledger (GL) – the central accounting record that aggregates all f… #
Related terms: chart of accounts, trial balance, subsidiary ledger. The GL is the primary source for most regulatory reports. Example: an Excel pivot table that pulls GL transaction data and summarises it by account code, period, and cost centre. Practical application includes using Power Pivot to create a data model that can be sliced by regulatory dimension (e.g., reporting entity). Challenges include reconciling GL balances with subsidiary ledgers, managing adjustments, and ensuring that the GL extract reflects the exact cut‑off date required by the regulator.
Key Performance Indicator (KPI) – a measurable value that demonstrates ho… #
Related terms: metric, benchmark, performance target. KPIs help monitor compliance health over time. Example: “% of statutory reports filed on time” calculated as (reports filed on schedule ÷ total reports) × 100. Practical application uses Excel’s charting tools to plot KPI trends and set conditional formatting alerts when a KPI falls below a predefined threshold. Challenges include selecting indicators that truly reflect regulatory risk, obtaining reliable data, and avoiding over‑reliance on a single metric.
Macro – a recorded or programmed set of actions in Excel that automates r… #
Related terms: VBA, script, automation routine. Macros are the backbone of many regulatory reporting automation solutions. Example: a macro that opens the latest payroll export, runs data validation, updates the GL summary, and saves the reporting package as a PDF. Practical application reduces manual effort, enforces consistency, and speeds up the filing deadline. Challenges include maintaining macro security settings, handling errors gracefully, and ensuring that macro code is documented for audit purposes.
Power Query – Excel’s data‑connection and transformation engine that enab… #
Related terms: Get & Transform, M language, ETL. Power Query is ideal for building repeatable data pipelines for regulatory reporting. Example: a query that pulls the latest trial balance CSV, renames columns to match the regulator’s taxonomy, and filters out inactive accounts. Practical application includes scheduling the query to refresh automatically, then feeding the cleaned data into a pivot table that drives the filing workbook. Challenges involve handling source‑system changes, managing query dependencies, and ensuring that refresh performance meets tight filing windows.
Power Pivot – an Excel add‑in that creates sophisticated data models with… #
Related terms: data model, relational engine, DAX. Power Pivot allows accountants to combine multiple data sources (GL, subsidiary ledgers, tax tables) into a single analytical view for regulatory reporting. Example: a model that relates GL accounts to regulatory line items through a bridge table, then calculates a “Regulatory Total” measure with =SUMX(Relationship, [Amount]). Practical application enables one‑click generation of a full statutory report by simply refreshing the model. Challenges include mastering DAX syntax, handling large data volumes that may exceed Excel’s row limit, and documenting the model for compliance reviewers.
Regulatory Reporting – the mandatory submission of financial and non‑fina… #
Related terms: statutory filing, compliance, disclosure. The purpose is to provide transparency, ensure tax compliance, and monitor systemic risk. Example: filing a quarterly VAT return that aggregates sales, purchases, and tax‑collected amounts by jurisdiction. Practical application in Excel involves building a template that mirrors the regulator’s layout, linking it to source data, and using formulas to calculate totals and subtotals automatically. Challenges include keeping pace with changing reporting standards, managing multiple jurisdictional requirements, and avoiding manual data entry errors.
Reconciliation – the act of matching two sets of records to ensure they a… #
Related terms: matching, variance analysis, balancing. Reconciliation is a core control that supports accurate regulatory reporting. Example: a reconciliation sheet that compares the total payroll expense from the HR system with the payroll expense posted in the GL, highlighting any differences. Practical application uses Excel formulas such as =IF(ABS(A‑B)<0.01, “OK”, “Difference”) and conditional formatting to surface mismatches. Challenges involve reconciling large data sets, dealing with timing differences, and documenting the reconciliation process for auditors.
Risk Assessment – the systematic identification and evaluation of potenti… #
Related terms: risk matrix, control environment, audit risk. A risk assessment informs the design of automated controls within the reporting process. Example: assigning a “high” risk rating to any transaction that exceeds a pre‑defined monetary threshold and requiring a manual review. Practical application includes embedding risk scoring formulas in the workbook and generating a risk‑summary dashboard that flags high‑risk items before filing. Challenges include calibrating risk thresholds, avoiding excessive manual overrides, and ensuring that the risk model aligns with regulator expectations.
Schedule Automation – the use of Excel’s built‑in scheduling features (e #
g., Windows Task Scheduler combined with VBA) to run reporting jobs at predetermined times. Related terms: batch processing, timed trigger, job scheduler. Automation guarantees that data extracts, calculations, and file generation occur before filing deadlines. Example: a VBA script that runs at 02:00 AM each night, pulls the latest GL data, updates the regulatory workbook, and emails the PDF to the compliance officer. Practical application reduces reliance on human timing and provides a reproducible audit trail of when each step executed. Challenges include handling unexpected errors (e.g., network outage), managing credentials securely, and ensuring that the automated job respects daylight‑saving changes.
Validation Rules – a collection of logical tests that data must satisfy b… #
Related terms: business rules, data quality checks, integrity constraints. Validation rules catch errors early, reducing downstream rework. Example: a rule that ensures the “Reporting Entity” field matches one of the codes listed in the regulator’s master list, implemented with =COUNTIF(ValidCodes, EntityCode)>0. Practical application includes a “Validate” button that runs all rules, aggregates any failures into a summary sheet, and prevents the workbook from being exported until issues are resolved. Challenges involve keeping the rule set synchronized with regulatory updates, avoiding overly strict rules that generate false positives, and documenting each rule for audit purposes.
Workflow Automation – the orchestration of sequential tasks, approvals, a… #
Related terms: process automation, approval routing, task flow. A well‑designed workflow reduces bottlenecks and ensures that each stakeholder fulfills their responsibilities on time. Example: a SharePoint‑based workflow that alerts the tax manager when the “Ready for Review” flag is set, then routes the workbook to the CFO for final sign‑off. Practical application uses Office 365 Power Automate connectors to trigger email notifications, update status columns, and archive completed reports. Challenges include integrating disparate platforms, handling exceptions (e.g., a reviewer is on leave), and maintaining version control throughout the workflow.
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) – a standardized XML‑based… #
Related terms: taxonomy, instance document, regulatory schema. XBRL enables automated ingestion of financial statements by regulators and analysts. Example: an Excel add‑in that maps GL accounts to the IFRS XBRL taxonomy, then exports the data as an .xbrl instance file ready for submission to the securities regulator. Practical application involves creating a mapping table, using Power Query to generate the required XML tags, and validating the file with the regulator’s validation service. Challenges include the steep learning curve of taxonomy management, handling updates to the XBRL standard, and ensuring that the generated instance file passes all technical validation checks.
Yield Curve Reporting – the presentation of interest‑rate term structures… #
Related terms: duration, market rates, financial instruments. Certain regulators require firms to publish yield curves for risk‑management transparency. Example: a sheet that pulls daily Treasury rates from a public API, fits a spline curve, and outputs the curve points in the format required by the regulator’s template. Practical application uses Excel’s Solver add‑in to optimise the spline parameters, then automates the export to CSV. Challenges include dealing with missing data points, ensuring the curve complies with the regulator’s smoothing rules, and documenting the modelling assumptions for auditors.
Zero‑Balance Account (ZBA) – an account that is automatically cleared to… #
Related terms: sweep account, cash pooling, treasury account. ZBAs simplify regulatory cash‑flow reporting by eliminating residual balances that could obscure true cash positions. Example: an Excel macro that identifies any ZBA with a non‑zero ending balance and posts a corrective entry to bring it to zero before the reporting cut‑off. Practical application ensures that the cash‑position report submitted to the regulator reflects only the intended cash holdings. Challenges include timing the sweep correctly, handling foreign‑exchange effects, and providing audit evidence that the zero‑balance adjustment was legitimate.
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) – the organized collection of US… #
Related terms: GAAP, IFRS, regulatory framework. Understanding ASC references is essential when automating reports that must cite the specific standard for each disclosed amount. Example: a lookup table that maps each GL account to its ASC reference (e.g., 210‑10‑05 for inventory). Practical application automatically inserts the ASC citation into footnotes of the regulatory filing using concatenation formulas. Challenges involve keeping the mapping current as ASC updates are released and ensuring that the citations meet the regulator’s formatting requirements.
Bankruptcy Disclosure – the reporting of a company’s insolvency status an… #
Related terms: going‑concern, impairment, contingent liability. Accurate bankruptcy disclosure is mandated by many securities regulators to protect investors. Example: a template that pulls the “Asset‑to‑Liability” ratio from the balance sheet and, if the ratio falls below a threshold, automatically generates a disclosure paragraph. Practical application uses conditional text generation (e.g., =IF(Ratio<0.5, “Company is in breach of the 0.5 ratio…”, “”)) to ensure consistent language across filings. Challenges include interpreting nuanced regulatory language, handling multiple jurisdictions, and providing supporting documentation for the disclosed figures.
Cash Flow Statement Automation – the use of Excel functions and macros to… #
Related terms: operating cash flow, investing cash flow, financing cash flow. Automation reduces manual classification errors that can trigger regulator queries. Example: a Power Query that tags each GL entry with a cash‑flow category based on a rule‑set, then aggregates the tags into the three cash‑flow sections. Practical application includes a refreshable “Cash Flow” sheet that updates instantly when new transactions are loaded, ready for inclusion in the statutory filing. Challenges involve maintaining the classification rules as business models evolve, handling foreign‑currency conversions, and reconciling the automated cash‑flow totals with the manually prepared version for audit purposes.
Consolidation Workbook – an Excel file that combines the financial statem… #
Related terms: intercompany elimination, parent company, subsidiary ledger. Consolidation is a common regulatory requirement for multinational entities. Example: a workbook that imports each subsidiary’s trial balance via Power Query, applies elimination entries, and produces a consolidated balance sheet and income statement. Practical application uses Power Pivot relationships to link subsidiary accounts to the group chart of accounts, then runs a macro that writes the consolidated figures into the regulator’s template. Challenges include managing differing fiscal year‑ends, handling currency translation adjustments, and documenting the elimination methodology for auditors.
Control Self‑Assessment (CSA) – a process where business units evaluate t… #
Related terms: internal audit, control testing, self‑audit. CSA results feed into the risk‑based approach for regulatory reporting automation. Example: a questionnaire that asks the finance team to rate the reliability of their automated journal‑entry process on a scale of 1‑5, with automatic calculation of an overall control score. Practical application includes linking the CSA score to the compliance dashboard, so that low scores trigger additional manual reviews before filing. Challenges involve ensuring objectivity, preventing “rubber‑stamping,” and integrating CSA outcomes with the formal audit trail.
Data Governance – the set of policies, procedures, and standards that ens… #
Related terms: data stewardship, data lineage, master data management. Strong governance is essential for trustworthy regulatory reporting automation. Example: a data‑ownership matrix that assigns responsibility for each data source (e.g., payroll, sales) and defines the approval workflow for any changes. Practical application uses Excel’s “Protect Sheet” and “Allow Users to Edit Ranges” features to enforce role‑based access, while logging changes in a hidden audit sheet. Challenges include balancing accessibility with security, maintaining documentation as systems evolve, and meeting regulator‑mandated data‑privacy standards (e.g., GDPR).
Exception Handling Routine – a programmed path within a macro that captur… #
Related terms: error trapping, try‑catch, logging mechanism. Effective exception handling ensures that a single bad record does not prevent the whole filing from being generated. Example: a VBA sub that attempts to convert a text date to a serial date; if conversion fails, the routine writes the offending row to an “ErrorLog” sheet and continues. Practical application allows the accountant to review and correct problem rows after the automation run, preserving overall efficiency. Challenges include designing comprehensive error messages, preventing infinite loops, and ensuring that logged exceptions are addressed before final submission.
Financial Statement Footnotes Automation – the generation of explanatory… #
Related terms: narrative disclosure, XBRL footnote, explanatory text. Footnotes often require detailed calculations (e.g., debt maturity schedule) that can be sourced directly from the underlying data. Example: a formula that assembles a paragraph describing lease liabilities by pulling the total lease amount, average lease term, and weighted‑average discount rate from the lease register. Practical application reduces manual drafting, ensures consistency across filings, and speeds up the review cycle. Challenges include handling regulatory language nuances, updating templates when new disclosure requirements appear, and obtaining sign‑off from legal/compliance teams.
GIFI (General Index of Financial Information) Coding – a Canadian tax‑rep… #
Related terms: CRA filing, tax schedule, code mapping. Accurate GIFI coding is essential for automated tax‑return generation. Example: a lookup table that maps each GL account to its GIFI code, then uses VLOOKUP to populate the tax‑return schedule automatically. Practical application enables a single click to produce a CRA‑ready XML file, reducing the risk of mis‑code errors that could trigger audits. Challenges involve staying current with annual GIFI updates, handling accounts that split across multiple GIFI codes, and documenting the mapping rationale for tax auditors.
Harmonization of Reporting Standards – the alignment of financial data to… #
g., IFRS and US GAAP). Related terms: dual reporting, convergence, standard mapping. Harmonization reduces duplication of effort when a firm must file under different regimes. Example: a dual‑purpose workbook that contains separate calculation sheets for IFRS and US GAAP, linked to a common data hub that feeds both. Practical application uses conditional formulas to apply the appropriate accounting treatment based on a user‑selected “Regime” flag. Challenges include managing divergent presentation requirements, ensuring that adjustments for one regime do not inadvertently affect the other, and maintaining clear documentation for each standard’s calculations.
Interest Expense Allocation – the distribution of total interest costs ac… #
Related terms: cost centre, allocation key, apportionment. Accurate allocation is often required for sector‑specific reporting (e.g., banking capital adequacy). Example: a table that assigns interest expense proportionally based on each unit’s outstanding debt balance, using the formula =UnitDebt/TotalDebt*TotalInterest. Practical application automates the allocation each month, then feeds the results into the regulator’s expense breakdown. Challenges include handling interest that is subject to tax‑benefit caps, ensuring that allocation keys are approved by senior management, and reconciling the allocated total with the original interest expense figure.
Journal Entry Automation – the creation of recurring or rule‑based journa… #
Related terms: recurring entry, posting automation, batch journal. Automation guarantees that required accruals, depreciation, and re‑valuations are posted consistently. Example: a macro that reads a “Schedule of Accruals” sheet, generates the corresponding debit and credit rows, and writes them to the GL import file. Practical application eliminates manual entry errors and ensures that the journal entries are timestamped before the reporting cut‑off. Challenges involve handling exceptions (e.g., one‑off adjustments), maintaining audit evidence of the automation logic, and ensuring that the generated entries respect the regulator’s posting rules (e.g., no post‑closing entries).
Key Date Management – tracking and enforcing critical dates that drive th… #
g., filing deadlines, data‑freeze dates). Related terms: calendar control, deadline tracker, milestone schedule. Effective date management prevents late filings and associated penalties. Example: an Excel sheet that lists each regulator’s deadline, calculates the number of days remaining, and triggers a red alert when less than five days remain. Practical application integrates with Outlook via VBA to send reminder emails automatically, and with the workflow engine to change status flags. Challenges include synchronising calendars across global offices, handling extensions granted by regulators, and ensuring that date calculations respect local holidays.
Liquidity Ratio Reporting – the calculation and disclosure of liquidity m… #
g., current ratio, quick ratio) required by financial regulators. Related terms: solvency, current assets, current liabilities. Accurate ratio reporting demonstrates the firm’s ability to meet short‑term obligations. Example: a pivot table that aggregates cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable, then divides by current liabilities to produce the current ratio. Practical application auto‑updates the ratio each time the underlying GL data is refreshed, and highlights any ratio that falls below a regulator‑specified threshold. Challenges include ensuring that the components of the ratio are classified consistently with regulatory definitions, and documenting any adjustments (e.g., off‑balance‑sheet items) that affect the calculation.
Management Information System (MIS) Integration – linking the Excel repor… #
Related terms: ERP, data lake, business intelligence. MIS integration enriches regulatory reports with operational context required by certain regulators (e.g., environmental impact metrics). Example: a Power Query connection that pulls production volume data from the MES system and combines it with energy‑consumption figures to compute emissions per unit. Practical application enables the same workbook to serve both internal management dashboards and external compliance filings. Challenges involve reconciling differing data refresh cycles, handling large data volumes, and ensuring that the integrated data respects confidentiality constraints.
Operational Risk Reporting – the disclosure of risks arising from interna… #
Related terms: risk register, control environment, incident log. Automation helps capture and summarise operational incidents consistently. Example: a workbook that pulls incident data from an internal ticketing system, categorises each incident by risk type, and calculates the total loss exposure per category. Practical application produces a regulator‑ready table that lists each risk category, number of incidents, and monetary impact, refreshed automatically each month. Challenges include ensuring data completeness (some incidents may be logged outside the ticketing system), maintaining consistent categorisation, and protecting confidential incident details while still meeting disclosure requirements.
Performance Benchmarking – comparing a firm’s regulatory metrics against… #
Related terms: peer analysis, best‑practice, KPI comparison. Benchmarking provides context for regulators and can highlight areas of improvement. Example: a chart that plots the firm’s capital adequacy ratio alongside the median ratio for the same sector, using data imported from a regulator‑published benchmark file. Practical application updates the benchmark data quarterly, and uses conditional formatting to flag when the firm falls below the sector median. Challenges include obtaining reliable benchmark data, adjusting for differences in accounting policies, and ensuring that the comparison methodology is transparent to auditors.
Quantitative Disclosure Automation – the systematic generation of numeric… #
g., loan‑to‑value, debt‑to‑equity) using Excel calculations linked to source data. Related terms: quantitative metric, ratio analysis, numeric footnote. Automation ensures that each disclosed number is derived directly from the underlying ledger, reducing the chance of manual transcription errors. Example: a sheet that computes the debt‑to‑equity ratio by dividing total debt (from the GL) by total equity, then writes the result into the regulator’s template cell. Practical application includes linking the ratio cell to a “Data Validation” rule that prevents the workbook from being saved if the ratio exceeds a regulator‑imposed limit. Challenges involve handling rounding conventions, ensuring that the source data reflects the correct reporting date, and providing a clear audit trail of the calculation steps.
Regulatory Change Management – the process of monitoring, assessing, and… #
Related terms: change impact analysis, version control, compliance update. Effective change management prevents non‑compliance due to outdated templates. Example: a tracker that logs each regulatory amendment, assigns an owner, and records the date the Excel workbook was updated to reflect the change. Practical application integrates with a macro that checks the tracker before generating a filing; if a pending change exists, the macro aborts and alerts the user. Challenges include staying abreast of multiple regulator bulletins, prioritising changes based on materiality, and ensuring that historical filings remain accessible for audit purposes.
Segment Reporting Automation – the preparation of financial information b… #
g., IFRS Segment Reporting). Related terms
