conforce Accelerator for Your Consolidated Financial Statements

Automate up to 80% of your consolidated financial statements

Speed up your
consolidated financial statements with our
conforce methodology

The implementation of SAP consolidation solutions is not just an IT project—it is a strategic tool for making consolidated financial statements faster, more transparent, and better prepared for the future.

In practice, however, it becomes clear that while the technical capability for automation exists, actual implementation often fails due to a lack of structure, unclear architecture, or insufficient integration into existing processes.
The challenge, therefore, is not to automatically generate the financial statements, but to rethink the entire financial statement preparation process—both organizationally and technically—and design it to be efficient.

This is exactly where the conforce methodology comes into play.

What is conforce?

conforce stands for the promotion of consolidated architectures —a methodological framework that views SAP S/4HANA® for Group Reporting not as an isolated tool, but as an integral part of a modern Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) landscape. The term is a combination of “consolidation” and “force” and stands for:

 

  • Structured Process Models for Faster Project Implementation

  • Intelligent Automation of Consolidation Processes

  • Future-Proof Reporting Architecture with SAP

  • Use of Best Practices

The 8 Principles of conforce

conforce is more than just a toolkit—it is a strategic approach to the successful implementation of SAP S/4HANA® for Finance for group reporting. We base our conforce methodology on eight core principles that have proven effective over many years of work.

Scoping

A clear project kickoff with the target architecture and requirements specification.

Architectural Thinking

SAP Group Reporting is viewed as part of an integrated EPM architecture—comprising SAP GR, SAP S/4HANA® Group Reporting Data Collection, and SAP Analytics Cloud®. Our guiding principle: "Think in terms of architectures, not tools."

Data Strategy

A clear data strategy is the key to reliable results. Integrated data flows, harmonized sources, and coordinated reporting processes create a consistent, robust data foundation.

Interdisciplinarity

Successful implementation of SAP Group Reporting can only be achieved as a team: Close coordination with FI/CO, joint master data maintenance, and early involvement of all stakeholders ensure sustainable results.

Automation & Templates

We identify opportunities for automation early on and use best practices, rules, and templates to standardize processes and minimize manual intervention.

Equity Consolidation

A key component of the methodology: clear consolidation logic, practical test migrations, and targeted training create transparency and ensure data quality.

Innovation in Reporting

Using modern tools such as SAP Analytics Cloud and Review Booklets, we leverage embedded reporting and integrated review processes to create opportunities for continuous improvement.

Support

Even after the migration, we continue to offer you our department-specific support during the finalization process.
