Traditional solutions require managers to wait days or even weeks for specific reports. In many cases, they have to wait until the books close to determine how their business performed. Moreover, Oracle Financial Analytics helps reduce the time it takes to generate reports for regulatory compliance (for example, Sarbanes-Oxley) or periodic financial statements. Oracle Financial Analytics provides more detailed reporting at a greater frequency and to a broader range of users. Managers and front-line professionals can segment information on costs and revenue by product, geography, region, or customer and then appropriately fine-tune strategy and improve performance. Oracle Financial Analytics also allows financial analysts to perform intraperiod balance sheet and income statement analyses to determine on a near-real-time basis how the business is performing. In addition, they can

more effectively manage cash flow by understanding how billing and collections functions are performing as well as payments and changes in inventory.

Oracle Financial Analytics includes prebuilt dashboards that pull information from enterprise systems and provide timely, complete data to corporate decision makers.
