Zurich North America's VP of Close Operations & General Accounting will present a case study on the ease of integration with SAP® solutions and key benefits and return on investment (ROI) the company has realized since using BlackLine on a global basis.

The presentation with Zurich is one of two that BlackLine will deliver alongside SAP during the conference.

The second, entitled "How to Overcome Weaknesses and Inefficiencies in the Account Reconciliation Process," will show 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. 

Both presentations are designed to inform customers, whether operating in an environment of only SAP solutions or applications from multiple vendors, how account reconciliation process optimization can help them achieve a quicker and more accurate financial close process. 

Featured Speakers:

• Stefan Karl, chief solution expert, Finance Solutions, SAP AG
• Mario Spanicciati, executive vice president, Operations, BlackLine Systems
• Laura Darbro, vice president, Close Operations & General Accounting, Zurich North America

Attendees will leave each session with insight into how, by automating their account reconciliations, they can:

• Virtually eliminate spreadsheets (and the manual errors that come with them) from their account reconciliation process
• Automate traditionally manual accounting functions
• Have a faster, more efficient close cycle - maintaining more control and visibility worldwide, while reducing risk
• Realize exceptional ROI in a very short timeframe
• Improve the accuracy and timeliness of compliance reporting
• Manage compliance while servicing multiple locations, worldwide
