DOI: Simplifying Multi-GAAP Financial Reporting at a Life Sciences company with Oracle’s Accounting Hub Cloud Service
Sachin Sardana , Oracle ERP Cloud Solution Architect, USAAbstract
Multinational companies (MNEs) are challenged increasingly by the requirement to report under multiple accounting frameworks like US GAAP, IFRS, and local GAAPs. ERP systems based on traditional architecture are incapable of providing harmonized and compliant reporting under this multiplicity of environments. Oracle Accounting Hub Cloud Service (AHCS) is a traditional, centralized accounting solution that consolidates disparate source systems to process parallel accounting treatments under a range of GAAPs. The paper discusses the architecture capabilities, compliance attributes, and strategic benefits of Oracle AHCS through in-depth analysis and a case study of its real-world implementation at A Life Sciences company. The findings suggest that AHCS improves auditability, minimizes close cycles, ensures precision, and supports geographies with scalable accounting efficiently.
