Systems and data

Connect reporting decisions to ERP, trial balance, and automation design.

Systems and data

Make the new reporting model repeatable from source data.

This module maps IFRS 18 and Ind AS 118 reporting decisions into ERP fields, trial balance structures, chart-of-account tags, reporting packages, and automation opportunities.

Source mapping

ERP / trial balance mapping

Map source systems, consolidation packs, trial balance fields, dimensions, and data-quality controls to the future presentation model.

ERP source map

TB dimension review

Data-quality checks

COA impact

Chart of accounts impact

Assess whether account structure, tags, cost-centre logic, and mapping rules can produce required categories, subtotals, and notes.

COA impact matrix

Mapping rules library

Change request list

Automation

Reporting automation opportunities

Identify where automation can reduce manual reclassification, reconciliation, data preparation, and evidence assembly.

Automation backlog

Manual-touchpoint map

Control automation ideas

Data review

Policy decisions only work when the data can produce them.

The systems review turns presentation and disclosure decisions into source-data requirements, mapping logic, validation checks, and practical build priorities.

ERP fields, chart-of-account structure, cost centres, dimensions, and consolidation package design.

Trial balance upload formats, mapping tables, manual journals, and reclassification routines.

Data needed for categories, subtotals, MPMs, disaggregation, notes, and comparative-period bridges.

Manual spreadsheet dependencies, reviewer checks, and evidence collection pain points.

Automation candidates for mapping, validation, reconciliation, workflow, and audit-trail creation.

Systems scorecard

Separate policy readiness from data readiness.

The scorecard shows whether the finance team can produce the future reporting model with current systems or whether process, tagging, or automation changes are required.

Source readiness

Do ERP and consolidation sources contain the fields needed for category and disclosure logic?

Clarifies data gaps.

Mapping control

Are mapping rules versioned, reviewed, and tied to accounting judgements?

Improves governance over report outputs.

Manual effort

Which reporting steps depend on manual reclassification, spreadsheets, or after-close adjustments?

Shows automation priorities.

Testing path

Can the future reporting model be tested through dry runs and comparative periods?

Reduces go-live uncertainty.

Mapping journey

Move from source systems to controlled reporting outputs.

Source inventory

Catalogue ERP, consolidation, trial balance, mapping, and reporting template dependencies.

Data requirement map

Translate categories, subtotals, MPMs, and disclosure needs into required fields and mappings.

Impact assessment

Identify COA changes, tagging gaps, manual workarounds, and automation candidates.

Build workplan

Package system actions, testing steps, controls, and owners into a practical implementation backlog.

Systems outputs

A data workplan that finance and systems teams can execute.

The module creates a bridge between accounting policy and the technology changes needed to make the reporting model reliable.

Next step

Make reporting automation a controlled extension of the standard.

Use this module when the future reporting model depends on ERP data, chart-of-account changes, mapping rules, or reduced spreadsheet effort.
