Analytics: reporting basis

A reporting basis pulls together the accounting elements required to produce financial reports.

These reports adhere to specific accounting standards (such as GAAP, IFRS, or local standards). A reporting basis can also be used to generate internal financial reports. These reports are used to make budgetary, management, and operational assessments.

Reports must be in context of a reporting basis to guarantee complete results. The delivered reports include the reporting basis definition. The reporting basis definition uses a cross reference to the reporting basis dimension found in the Finance Enterprise Group (FINGP) cube. FINGP includes attributes from the business classes Finance Enterprise Group and Reporting Basis.
