Overview: BlackLine Balance Sheet Integrity

Improve Efficiency and Eliminate Manual Processes

Increase efficiency across the close by systematically automating manual, repetitive, and non-value adding components of balance sheet account, bank, credit card, inventory, and other operational reconciliations. With automated data imports, rules-driven transaction matching, and customer-controlled auto-certification rules, companies using BlackLine automatically system-certify 45% of their reconciliations on average, with some achieving more than 70% system-certification to dramatically reduce period-end workloads.

Increase Accuracy

Standardized best practice reconciliation templates and configurable workflows help align processes to operational, financial reporting, and compliance objectives and create consistency in your operations, ensuring that the most up-to-date balances are being reconciled, unusual balances are quickly identified and addressed, and account preparers and reviewers adhere to overall reconciliation policies and procedures. As a result, accountants can focus on analysis, risk mitigation, and exception handling.

Minimize Risk with Proper Controls

Reduce the risk of financial discrepancies through embedded controls while creating transparency and accountability. BlackLine Balance Sheet Integrity enables accounting leaders to maintain proper segregation of duties among accounting team members, provide auditors easy access to review reconciliations, and configure risk rules to quickly identify irregular activity. Each step in the period-end process is tracked with a full audit trail, and every account is fully substantiated.

Maximize Visibility

Drill down into pertinent supporting information directly within BlackLine. You can dive right into your ERP account details, review matched and unmatched transactions, and access management reports, dashboards, and real-time information to analyze accounting data, surface new intelligence, and measure performance against established metrics. Create a secure and controlled global view into the status of your reconciliations, and ditch the paper to gain full visibility into your end-to-end process.

Ensure System Interoperability

Whether you’re on a single ERP or have many disparate, disconnected financial systems, BlackLine is ERP-agnostic and integrates with your technology investments to deliver a complete reconciliation management solution. And because our solution is built on a single codebase, rather than a patchwork of cobbled together technologies acquired over time, our products work together on a private cloud platform, seamlessly and securely sharing datasets and workflows with your organization’s systems.

“When I think about BlackLine, seamless, transparent, greater visibility, and increased control are all words that come to mind.”

Eamonn Matthews, Business Process Lead – Accounting & Reporting, The Coca-Cola Company
