Improved accuracy and reduced cost of asset maintenance planning
Accelerate Templates for Asset Maintenance Planning unlock the power of Oracle EPM Cloud Planning for leading Australian energy supplier.
Mining companies often face a complex, time-consuming month-end close process - especially when multiple entities within a company need to be consolidated for reporting and compliance.
For over 20 years DXC Technology has worked with mining and resources organisations to assess and implement advanced IT and Operational Technology (OT) solutions to empower them to become safer, smarter, and more sustainable.
With extensive experience delivering Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions, our teams of industry experts and technology engineers understand how to streamline and automate processes, to transform financial and regulatory reporting.
Financial consolidation challenges
Manual processes and systems fragmentation. Relying on legacy systems, spreadsheets and manual workflows can lead to errors and longer close cycles due to fragmented data sources and lack of system integration.
Complex legal and ownership structures. Joint ventures for asset management, special purpose entities, and frequent M&A activities increase the complexity of manual consolidation adjustments and heighten the risk of misstatements due to erroneous intercompany eliminations.
Multi-country and multi-currency operations. Mining operations can span multiple countries, each with its own local tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements, which necessitates complex currency translation and consolidation logic to be applied often through dual-reporting systems, impacting balance sheets and P&L.
Extensive intercompany transactions and eliminations. Mining companies have multiple entities involved in exploration, mining, processing, and sales, which in turn create extensive intercompany transactions, leading to error prone eliminations, delays in close and higher audit risks due to manual reconciliation efforts.
Key person dependencies. Geographically distributed finance teams, reliance on key individuals with institutional knowledge and recruitment challenges can lead to risk of delays and errors when key staff are absent or leave.
Tight reporting timelines and demanding stakeholders. Pressure for timely reporting and regulatory compliance, coupled with global operations and time zone differences impede coordination of accurate, and auditable results and hinders strategic decision-making.
