How Thomson Reuters closes with confidence and achieves balance sheet integrity with
BlackLine and SAP solutions
Mario Spanicciati and Howard Goldstein, BlackLine Systems; Robert C. Abercrombie, Thomson Reuters;
and Stefan Karl, SAP AG

FIN Track 6
Account reconciliation is an underappreciated, yet critical, control to help ensure an organization’s financial integrity.
Weaknesses and inefficiencies in the reconciliation process often lead to balance sheet mistakes and overall inaccuracies
in the financial close. Attend this session and learn how automating the traditionally manual, labor-intensive and
spreadsheet-driven account reconciliation process can help your organization (whether operating in an SAP-only or
multiple ERP environment) achieve a quicker and more accurate close — increasing efficiencies, productivity, visibility,
and control, while minimizing risk and reducing bottom-line costs. Hear about the key benefits and ROI that Thomson
Reuters has experienced since using BlackLine alongside SAP ERP Financials to
reconcile global accounts. Leave this session with a better understanding on how to close
with confidence, maintaining more control and visibility, while reducing risk, and
creating a faster, more efficient close cycle.
