The need for organizations across the globe to grow, both organically and inorganically, is more pertinent than ever before. As organizations are growing big with acquisitions (sometimes across borders) almost every day, they are faced with the challenge of disparate accounting systems which come as a part of it. Even organizations that are growing organically need to adapt to multiple legacy systems, record different sets of transactions and should have the latest standardized financial reporting across the organization.

Financial Accounting Hub (FAH) from Oracle is one such answer to the need of having consistent and accurate representation of accounting and financial information.

Clover Infotech, a comprehensive IT services provider and a preferred partner for Oracle ready ERP Cloud in India, is enabling customers to create a single source of accounting truth with its Oracle Financial Accounting Hub (FAH).

Creating consistent accounting and reporting of financials

Oracle Financial Accounting Hub (FAH) creates consistent and auditable accounting for all source systems – external and legacy.



The FAH consists of an accounting transformation engine that enforces uniform accounting policies on data across multiple source systems. It has configurable accounting rules and once the data passes through the accounting rules engine, it applies accounting methods, rules and policies to convert into consistent accounting information and store it in FAH General Ledger repository. From thereon, it provides a platform to consolidate and generate financial data for the whole organization, create customizable reports, dashboards and perform financial analysis.

It thus helps you to meet compliance requirements easily as there is a consistent and uniform source of accounting for all external and legacy systems. It enables to comply with multi-GAAP accounting requirements and stores information for reporting and reconciliation.

FAH enables to store transaction and supporting reference information into an accounting repository. This repository forms the basis for reporting and acts as a fodder for analytics. Geographies, industry type, fund manager, etc. could be used as supporting references to view the data from multiple dimensions and make inferences as per various parameters.

Managing multiple systems as well as new integrations

FAH provides an efficient rules builder that enables business users to create accounting rules, store it and apply it across different systems. If the legacy system is not equipped for accounting, it can use the rules builder to track and transform transactions as per the rules.
FAH accounting engine also enables to account for specific business events or for all events that occur with respect to a specific application.

Due to its ability to adapt to new requirements, FAH is an efficient tool to cater to events such as integrating new-age systems or managing the books when a new company is acquired.
As the FAH can implement both journal-pass through solutions as well as raw-transaction-based accounting solutions, new systems and products can be added seamlessly.

The rules repository enables users to define setups for every component of a journal entry. They can also reuse them for similar kind of requirements.

How does implementing Oracle FAH help?

By implementing Oracle FAH, the monthly closure processes can be managed seamlessly. As the FAH stores the entire journal when an error occurs, it enables to address the errors efficiently. Its robust exception management enables users to identify and resolve exceptions easily.

The Oracle Financial Accounting Hub (FAH) can leverage Oracle’s SOA platform and fusion middleware. This enables to track, monitor and control the end-to-end processing of accounting transactions.

Due to a single, consistent and uniform view across the organization, easy internal controls and audits can be put into place. This ensures successful reviews and compliance in a timely and seamless manner.

It also minimizes manual corrections with draft accounting feature. It allows users to preview the rules and transaction information both on-line and in the reports. The users can correct the information before they decide to save it.

The FAH enables users to drill down from General Ledger to specific journal entries in the accounting repository. This helps to give a comprehensive understanding of businesses and business events and its impact on the organization.
