General Ledger - Global dashboard

The General Ledger - Global dashboard provides an overview of the General Ledger at company level. By monitoring the number of transactions and recorded amounts expressed in Third Currency, a finance manager or controller can analyze the financial state of the business for the entire company and specific divisions.

This dashboard can answer these business questions:

  • How much is the current bank and cash balance and what is the trend over 12 months?
  • What division has the lowest bank and cash balance?
  • Which accounts have the largest recorded amount for company and per division?

Note that this dashboard only supports a unified Third Currency.

Reports and KPIs

The dashboard contains these reports:

  • Bank and Cash Balance Trend
  • Number of Transactions by Division
  • Recorded Amount in Third Currency by Account
