Record to Report for enterprise clients
Workday implementation
Client details withheld. Role: Senior Consultant, Workday Finance.
- Situation
- Enterprise clients were running complex transformation programs and needed one platform for Record to Report, including parallel reporting under US GAAP, IFRS and Local GAAP.
- What I did
- Ran stakeholder workshops covering Record to Report, multi-book accounting and statutory reporting.
- Configured the financial data model: custom organizations, worktags, ledger accounts, accounting details, balancing rules and hierarchies.
- Designed business asset accounting, banking and settlement, and bank reconciliation.
- Built approval workflows, security roles and segregation-of-duties controls, with custom validations.
- Automated journals for revenue, accruals, intercompany and assets.
- Led unit testing, SIT and UAT coordination, then go-live, hypercare and stabilization.
- What the clients got
- Parallel reporting across frameworks, a controlled period-end close with automated journals and bank reconciliation, source-to-GL drill-down for audit, and trained finance users with documentation to keep using.
