Solution
Group Consolidation
Group consolidation merges the financial and operational results of multi-company structures in one place. Qera lets you run your group from a single command center with continuous consolidation, intercompany elimination, multi-currency translation and multi-book support for local GAAP and IFRS.
Challenges you face
Sound familiar?
This module is built to remove the everyday operational pains below.
- Each group company uses a separate database or different accounting software, so seeing the consolidated picture takes days.
- Eliminating intercompany debts, receivables and sales is done by hand, making it error-prone and exhausting.
- Translating overseas subsidiaries' local-currency balance sheets into the reporting currency is complex and time-consuming.
- Preparing the same data separately for local GAAP and IFRS takes days in Excel.
- Tracing which company a line in the consolidated report came from is hard, so audit cycles drag on.
Capabilities
What can you do with Group Consolidation?
The core capabilities that digitize your processes end to end.
Continuous consolidation
With a live database structure, every transaction is ready for consolidation the moment it's posted. See the group cash position, consolidated risk and sector breakdown in real time without waiting for month-end close.
Common chart of accounts and mapping
Local charts of accounts across subsidiaries in different sectors are mapped automatically to an upper-layer Consolidation Chart of Accounts. Local accountants keep their setup while group management sees data in a standard format.
Intercompany elimination
Intragroup debts/receivables, sales/costs and unrealized profit are eliminated automatically during consolidation. The system performs this mandatory step for regulatory and international audit standards on your behalf.
Multi-currency translation engine
Translates subsidiaries' local-currency balance sheets into the reporting currency automatically. Applies IAS 21-aligned methods (income statement at period-average, balance sheet at period-end rates) and tracks the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) separately.
Multi-book: local GAAP and IFRS
A single invoice entry is posted in the background to both the local-GAAP and IFRS books. Different valuations such as severance, depreciation or rediscount are held in separate adjustment vouchers; pull the tax or IFRS consolidated balance sheet anytime.
Management reporting and drill-down
Visualize sectoral profitability and geographic analyses with Power BI integration; click a cost line in the consolidated report to drill down to the company it came from, even to the invoice image.
