Why this course
Central Finance and Group Reporting consultants at SAP and partner firms on a multinational customer M&A integration workshop are asked three questions in the same session. Will Central Finance hold across the new entities. Will Group Reporting integrate with the customer's IFRS 18 implementation. Will the customer-side ZATCA e-invoicing landing complicate the Central Finance integration. The default consultant response addresses each question in isolation. The workshop ends without a single coherent answer.
The course delivers the integrated CFIN/Group Reporting answer. The CFIN M&A integration framework. The Group Reporting IFRS 18 integration framework. The customer-side ZATCA e-invoicing integration. The customer-side Group CFO reporting framework. The customer-side data-platform integration. The customer-side workforce integration. The customer-side governance integration. The customer-side post-M&A operating model. The customer-side multi-jurisdiction tax integration. The customer engagement structure. Twelve modules with deliverables. Plus a hand-built playbook for your account mix.
