Efficient and standardized IFRS reporting
The Bauer Group is the world leader in special foundation engineering technologies. With over 110 subsidiaries in around 70 countries, Bauer has a worldwide network across all continents. In accounting, the companies are pooled into four subgroups.
Bauer has been creating consolidated financial statements with IDL Konsis for years. In the international sphere, the centralized Group Accounting & Controlling decided to implement digitalized report processes and has therefore replaced its reporting with Excel packages by the latest version of IDL software. The companies now send their data directly to the central consolidation system, automatically via the interface to the ERP system and by entering data in the online data entry forms. Data collection is controlled via the IDL Workflow Function, which provides the headquarters with an overview of the processing status at all times.
A key advantage is that all reports are created and processed using a central database. All companies access a unique repository in accordance with their user rights. The central department creates, updates and distributes reports and figures with one click using IDL Designer. For Bauer AG, one key benefit is that non-numeric information such as comments can now be stored centrally and evaluated across the group.
