The financial statement workflow moves source accounting data through mapping, review, documentation, reporting, and finalization. Some optional steps depend on the features enabled for your organization.

Import

Load the current and comparative accounting data from a linked system or files. Confirm the reporting period before importing. See Import financial data.

Verification

When enabled, Verification shows the extracted accounts, currency, and current- and prior-period values. Check that the account population and totals agree to the source data before mapping.

This step may be hidden for organizations that do not use the feature.

CoA Mapping

Map each source account to the appropriate Swiss SME chart-of-accounts position. Resolve unmapped or ambiguous accounts and review the sign and classification of material balances.

Duplicate source account numbers prevent the workflow from proceeding. Correct the source data or duplicate accounts before continuing.

Review

Review the financial-statement amounts and comparative figures. Use the materiality and comment tools to document the assessment and follow up on unexpected movements or classifications.

Mapping determines presentation, but it does not prove that the ledger is complete or correct. Reconcile the figures to the approved accounting records.

Checklists

Complete the applicable closing checks and record the conclusion for each item. Attach source documents and other evidence from the client workspace where needed.

Checklist completion should reflect work actually performed. Resolve open items before finalization or document the approved conclusion.

Report

Generate the financial statement report. Depending on the configured workflow, use Design, Template, and Editor to control and review the output. Export PDF or Word copies when required for review.

Regenerate the report after relevant data or disclosure changes, then inspect the complete document rather than only the changed section.

Finalize

Assemble the compliance pack, create a draft, and inspect it before selecting Finalize Statement. Finalization locks the statement against editing.

Read Finalize a statement and build the compliance pack before completing this step.
