Exports and pastes.
Each figure passes through several spreadsheets before it reaches the report.
Why does month-end reporting take a week?
The figures for each report gathered from every system automatically, reconciled before anyone sees them, with every number traced to where it came from.
See it worked throughThe numbers exist.
Assembling them takes the week.
Month-end reporting is mostly copying: exports from each system, pasted into spreadsheets, checked by hand and pasted again into the pack.
Checks done by hand.
Totals are tied out line by line, late at night, by the people who should be explaining them.
No trail behind a number.
When a director asks where a figure came from, someone has to rebuild it.
