Disclosure Management: The Revolution in Reporting

The increasing demands on companies to provide reporting in a variety of forms represent a growing challenge. From annual financial statements and annual reports to sustainability reports and digital information - the range is enormous. As a result, numerous employees in the company are involved in creating these reports, which raises questions about access rights, change tracking and data consistency. This need for customized information for different recipients is omnipresent.

Disclosure Management for Efficient and Transparent Reporting

Disclosure Management is the answer to these challenges. It is an innovative class of software tools specifically designed for this complex and interactive process. These tools enable the efficient breakdown of documents according to company collaboration, automated integration of data sources and the automatic generation of target reports in different variants. The resulting reports are characterized by traceability and consistency. Workflows, audit trails and authorizations ensure that changes are tracked and authorized.

Features of Disclosure Management Tools:

  • Automated data integration: These tools automatically integrate a wide variety of sources, ensuring that data is always up-to-date and available, even in the event of short-term adjustments.
  • Consistency through variables: Working with variables enables consistency of data in the text, for example by correctly quoting balance sheet and income statement values from the consolidated financial statements throughout the report.
  • Consistency across reports: The roll-over function ensures that previous year's values in the current report also appear in the previous year's column.
  • Digital labeling (tagging): Some of these tools offer AI-supported functions for tagging information with digital labels of different taxonomies.
