 EPM Data Quality Customer Challenges - Process

• Lack of automated support for

financial restatements
• Limited or non-existent audit trails
• Weak controls around data &
meta data collection
• Business function owned by IT

Data Management can become a real headache!

5
 What is Financial Data Quality Management (FDM)?

• Combines four functions/processes

– Collection and transformation of financial data
– Management of periodic process to collect and
transform data
– Documentation of internal controls to support
compliance
– Investigation of audit trails, drill through and write
back to source
• Data Quality is no longer an optional feature,
but a requirement

6
 Oracle EPM System Delivers Confidence with FDM

Audit Trails Data Collection

• Integrated Control questions
• Store current and historical
mapping definitions, docs
• Allow dynamic drill through
to source ERP and files
• “Defendable” Data
FDM
and Transformation
• Read and interpret G/L trial
balance files and ERP sources
• Mapping validation against
target system dimensions
• Data & meta data integrity
checking against data validation
rules

Repeatable
Processes Internal Controls
• Source financial document
• Single standard and archival
defined solution for any • Prepackaged audit and
target application internal control reports
• Standardized database schema • Comprehensive role based
• Standard upward data certification process security
• Fast turn around times

10
Import from Any Source

End users “Import” their source

financial data (from files, DB’s or ERP)
into FDM eliminating all manual
changes ensuring complete accuracy.

11
Smart Dimensional Mapping

Invalid dimension mapping problems are

identified for easy correction. FDM allows for
simple or complex cross-dimensional and
conditional mapping of data.

12
User Driven Data Validation Rules

End users are given feedback on the

quality, accuracy, and completeness
of the data that they loaded to their
application, so they are
accountable, and can participate in
the data integrity management
process. Additional adjustment data
may be loaded via flat or Excel files.

13
FDM Reports

The Intersection drill-down report allows

for a view of all current source to target
maps for all dimensions in one view, with
values. The report is available in
PDF, Word, Excel, HTML and RTF formats
by default.

14
Visibility Through Dashboards

The Close and Controls

documentation status report provides
further visibility into the process. See
quickly who has loaded data into the
application and full status of the data
load portion of the close process.

15
Supports Sarbanes Oxley Certifications and
Assessment Requirements

Sarbanes Oxley control questionnaires

allow end users to attest to the validity of
financial data.

Business process areas are grouped into

sections and questions can be tied to
activities for monitoring and testing. Built
in workflow allows for promotion of
responses to the next review level.
These questions apply to Section 302
Review Certification, as well as monitoring
the 404 control framework.
