Global Financial Consolidation

Consolidating more than 50 fragmented P&L reporting files into one governed financial reporting environment.

A global chemical organization was managing P&L reporting across more than 50 separate Excel files, with inconsistent local master data, shadow IT practices and heavy manual reconciliation during close. NoèmeX began with discovery and requirements definition, then implemented a governed data and BI environment that brought the reporting process into one standardized application.

The challenge

What the organization needed to change

The public page keeps the core business problem visible so prospective clients and search engines can understand the engagement without requiring a form submission.

01

Fragmented P&L reporting

More than 50 P&L versions were maintained across business lines, creating inconsistent numbers, duplicate effort and reconciliation pressure during financial close.

02

Disconnected master data

Local master data did not consistently align with group standards, forcing extensive mapping and manual reconciliation.

03

Shadow IT and weak BI governance

Finance teams had built independent analytical models outside a common governance structure, making a single source of truth difficult to establish.

04

Different reporting granularities

Executives needed consolidated views while operational teams required detail, but the existing reporting environment could not serve both consistently.

What we did

A structured path from fragmented operations to a governed solution

This summary explains the major workstreams. The downloadable case study can carry the deeper implementation narrative, diagrams, frameworks and technical detail.

01

Discovery and requirements

Mapped the fragmented reporting landscape and translated stakeholder needs into a detailed 200-page Business Requirements Document.

02

Data foundation

Integrated Oracle R12, local referential data and other sources into a central structure, including mapping local master data to group master data.

03

Governed BI application

Built a consolidated front-end reporting application with hierarchical views for executive summaries and operational drill-down.

04

Adoption and continuity

Delivered iteratively, trained finance users and provided embedded support during critical financial-closing periods.
