Motivation

For capital market-oriented companies reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards, the presentation of financial results by segment is the main requirement. In addition, the success of business and responsibility areas as well as of market segments is now attached to a far greater significance for the company management, as of the balance sheet and income statement of individual enterprises. With the functionality of the new general ledger of SAP® and the deep integration of internal and external accounting, it is possible to meet this requirement and to ensure complete segment reporting and profit center accounting.
The prerequisite for this is a consistent implementation of the existing companies and
organizational structures as well as business management models in the application
design. In this regard, the seminar is designed to shed light on all the important decisions
regarding functions and design parameters that need to be considered on the way to
complete segment reporting and profit center accounting in SAP®.
