The Financial Services finance function faces deep challenges that are prompting transformation projects. Finance leaders are working to:
Improve finance's cost efficiency
Address regulatory compliance issues and constraints
Secure financial processes, such as financial quality control, and sustainably manage finance IT
AFTS is a preconfigured solution—containing standard financial services processes—for banks and insurance companies.
It is based on the latest SAP technology—ECC 6.0 and SAP BW-BO—and has been migrated to HANA.
The solution is a project accelerator. It reduces project implementation and maintenance efforts in terms of time, cost and risk. It contains a full range of documentation—covering process, development, training and master data.
AFTS provides a complete set of project deliverables for all transformation phases.
It leverages Accenture's finance transformation know-how, and best practices honed over the last 10 years.
The solution is compliant with local accounting standards as well as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). It is currently being enhanced with Solvency 2 Pillar 3 QRTs.
AFTS offers centralized finance and accounting processes, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, month-end close and balance sheet reconciliations. AFTS's business processes fall into these five domains:
From purchase orders to payments, AFTS offers a complete non-technical, third-party accounting SAP solution.
The CA&A process domain includes overhead cost follow up (such as budget control), direct and indirect cost allocations, and functional area reporting.
Our AFTS solution is based on the SAP New GL module, and covers key bank and insurance GL closing processes such as multi-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and intercompany reconciliations.
Standard statutory, regulatory and financial management reports are already included in AFTS. Reports catalogue available.
With complex data models, especially in banks and insurance organizations, MDM presents a huge challenge. AFTS offers an integrated MDM solution.
