Kimberly-Clark's global implementations project leader will present a case study on the ease of integration with SAP® solutions and key benefits and return on investment (ROI) the $20 billion public company has realized since using BlackLine on a global basis.
The session will focus on how finance, accounting, audit and compliance executives can further ensure the integrity of their balance sheets - and ultimately financial reports - by implementing software to automate the traditionally manual, labor-intensive and spreadsheet-driven account reconciliation process.
The webinar, scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012, is designed to inform customers, whether operating in an environment of only SAP solutions or applications from multiple vendors, how account reconciliation process optimization can help them achieve a quicker and more accurate financial close process. The session will demonstrate the importance of the account reconciliation process as a critical step on the path to "closing with confidence."
