 What the IC Tool Does 

The IC Tool supports intercompany reconciliation across multiple reporting frequencies using a single, consistent framework. This enables standardised controls and processes to be applied across monthly, quarterly, and year-end close cycles, regardless of reconciliation timing or reporting requirements, and supports consistent application of review, approval, documentation, and follow-up processes across entities and counterparties. 

 

  • Monthly intercompany reconciliations, performed as part of routine close processes to identify and resolve variances within standard accounting timelines. 
  • Quarterly intercompany reconciliations, aligned with reporting cycles to support consistency between internal and external reporting. 
  • Year-end intercompany reconciliations and true-ups, aligning final accounting results with transfer pricing outcomes.
