    Oracle Financial Consolidation Hub User's Guide

changing business requirements, offering an open architecture that rationalizes data 
from disparate systems into a single, actionable source of truth.

Provides a Basis for Enterprise-Wide Performance Management

Today's financial organizations are being called upon to achieve both strategic and 
operational excellence. After all, the best plans in the world are futile without effective 
execution; likewise, effective execution is wasted if it's based on flawed strategy. 
Achieving such corporate alignment requires a single, enterprise view of the firm's 
financial position. Financial Consolidation Hub creates this view by integrating 
multiple subsidiaries and investments from a variety of countries with disparate 
accounting systems, ownership structures, charts of accounts, and currencies. By 
providing accurate, timely, and enterprise-wide information, Financial Consolidation 
Hub provides a foundation, upon which financial organizations can establish and 
evaluate business strategies.
