Finance4U® Regulatory Accounting & Reporting
Create and defend regulatory reports faster with easy access to data you can trust.
Regulatory reports require more detail than ever, from all across the enterprise, and they’re only going to get more exacting in the years ahead. If that’s not challenging enough, utilities and energy companies often create their reports manually, using disparate financial plans and systems, which is time consuming for your team and results in data duplication. When regulators have questions, it’s difficult to trace back specific figures and assumptions.
Finance4U Regulatory Accounting and Reporting simplifies these complex processes, so you can be more than ready for the increased scrutiny. As the only patented, SAP certified add-on for regulatory reporting, it gives utility and energy companies that run SAP quick access to accurate data, and the comprehensive, real-time picture they need to continuously monitor if they are on track to meet regulatory performance metrics and ensure they can earn their authorized rate of return.
Finance4U products have been implemented by utility and energy companies across the country with a 100% success rate.
