Management perspective
Connect group reporting with management decisions
Valusage helps multi-entity groups define consistent accounting structures, reporting responsibilities and management review points. Work may include consolidation support, intercompany analysis, forecasts and control design, but does not replace statutory audit, legal restructuring or management approval.

Questions before scoping
Does group reporting replace statutory financial statements?+
No. Management and consolidation reporting serves internal decisions. Statutory financial statements and audit requirements must be assessed separately for each entity and jurisdiction.
What information is needed to begin?+
The team normally needs entity structures, trial balances, charts of accounts, intercompany schedules, bank access arrangements, reporting packs and management priorities.
