Senior finance representatives from ACS/Xerox will present a case study on the key benefits, considerations and lessons learned  while supporting one of their customers—a $20 billion multinational manufacturing  company—during their implementation and ongoing maintenance of BlackLine within their SAP environment. 

The session will focus on how finance, accounting, audit and compliance executives can further ensure the integrity of their balance sheets – and ultimately financial reports – by implementing software to automate the traditionally manual, labor-intensive and spreadsheet-driven account reconciliation process.  

The webinar, scheduled for Tuesday, July 26, is designed to inform customers, whether operating in an environment of only SAP® solutions or applications from multiple vendors, of the importance of the account reconciliation process as a critical step on the road to achieving balance sheet integrity.  It will show how account reconciliation process optimization can help customers achieve a quicker and more accurate financial close process.

Webinar details are as follows:
