Gartner defines financial close and consolidation solutions (FCCS) as applications that enable corporate controllers and their teams to manage the organization’s group close, consolidation and reporting processes. The FCCS market equips organizations to (1) manage and drive financial control across their close cycles through configurable workflows and dashboards that support collaboration and provide a centralized auditable view; (2) execute financial consolidation across multiple legal entities (LEs) and geographies; (3) meet accounting standards for currency translation, intercompany elimination and top-side adjustments; and (4) generate reporting that adheres to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and regional compliance.
