Why Choose Fast Close Implementation Training Course?

Are your period-end accounting close procedures adequate and up-to-date? They probably are not. To address this issue the importance of Fast Close initiatives has become abundantly clear as increasing numbers of global organisations implement various Fast Close, or R2R (Record to Report) strategies and processes.

As the amount of financial data we are required to process has continued to increase day-by-day the speed with which we carry out the period-end accounts closing process has become a powerful KPI of management performance, and good corporate governance.

Implementation of Fast Close usually requires varying levels of organisational, structural and procedural changes.
