CALUMO + Microsoft, sharing best practice in the financial close and reporting proces

[Calumo]

Calumo is partnering with Microsoft in a series of sessions, to illustrate how Microsoft, one of the world’s largest companies, reduces the cost and risk associated with financial reporting.
Microsoft Corporate Accounting Group Manager Lisa Nelson, and Director of Corporate Accounting Alice Jolla, will be discussing in detail how Microsoft’s financial reporting process creates a well controlled work environment.

CALUMO Group will be discussing the relevance of this best practice to Australian close and reporting. These practices enable Companies to dramatically streamline time-consuming traditional methods by operating out of one consolidated environment. Companies can collaborate and manage calendars, task lists, documents, and sign offs with a complete audit history and streamline the audit process to boot.

• Microsoft has benefited through this best practice as follows:
• Reduced annual report filing time from 50 days to 31 days
• Shaved approximately five days out of internal checking process
• Reduced black-out periods for stock trading
• Enabled quarterly reporting simultaneously with earnings press release
• Streamlined auditor involvement and reduced related costs

These events are scheduled for:
Melbourne: 23 September 2008
Sydney: 24 September 2008
Perth: 26 September 2008
