Closing

0 reviews

In many large groups, the financial close hasn't kept pace with the rest of the finance function. Accounting production has been largely industrialized through ERPs, yet its review and justification often remain manual, handled in separate Excel files under tight deadlines. When each entity follows its own logic and keeps its supporting evidence in its own place, it becomes harder for the group to get a consistent view of how its accounts are reviewed, and to document that work when audit season comes. Closing, by Sixthfin, brings this fragmented process under one standardized, governed close. A single group often runs several ERPs and charts of accounts across its entities; Closing maps each of them to a common group reference, so accounts, statuses and analytical reviews stay comparable everywhere, whatever the underlying system, currency or language. Standardized work programmes by cycle, a clear status per account, review governance and a complete audit trail replace artisanal Excel reviews with a controlled, group-wide discipline. The result: less manual work, a shared real-time view of close progress for Finance, Control and Audit, and a group that is audit-ready by design.

Geoficiency

In many large organizations, financial control still rests largely on sampling. Audit and finance teams review a fraction of the accounting entries, often after the fact and by hand, which leaves room for errors, anomalies and fraud or corruption risks to go unnoticed. Meanwhile, regulators and stakeholders expect stronger evidence that these risks are actively monitored and documented. A level of assurance that manual, sample-based checks aren't always able to provide. Geoficiency, by Sixthfin, extends this control to the entire population of transactions. A single group often runs several ERPs and charts of accounts across its entities; Geoficiency consolidates them into a common group reference and analyzes 100% of accounting entries, combining algorithmic, machine-learning and AI-based methods to detect anomalies, errors and fraud or corruption risks, whatever the underlying system, entity or currency. Run on a recurring, a posteriori basis, it supports continuous monitoring and compliance programmes, including anti-corruption regulations such as the FCPA and Sapin II, and gives Finance, Audit and Compliance teams the means to investigate suspicious patterns and document their risk-management framework. The result: exhaustive coverage instead of sampling, faster investigation, and demonstrable, audit-ready control across the group.

T&E Controls

In many large groups, expense management has been thoroughly industrialised, yet the control that surrounds it hasn't kept pace. Submission, approval and reimbursement are now handled by dedicated tools, but what happens between approval and posting is where those tools stop looking. Approvals are often delegated, rushed under volume, or granted without real scrutiny, and few groups have a way to measure what actually gets past a validator's watch. When each entity approves and reviews expense claims on its own reflexes, it becomes harder for the group to get a consistent view of how well its spend is really controlled, and to prove that control when audit season comes. T&E Controls, by Sixthfin, adds the review layer that sits after approval. The platform analyses 100% of expense claims across every employee and entity, cross-referencing expense data against the accounting records to reveal what a transaction-by-transaction check can't: duplicate claims between employees, repeat spending patterns, behavioural drift, approval weaknesses and gaps in account reconciliation. It doesn't replace the expense management tool already in place. It measures whether the control framework around it is actually working. The result: less manual investigation, factual indicators to prioritise corrective action, and a group that can evidence the effectiveness of its expense controls by design.
