Weaknesses and inefficiencies in the reconciliation process often lead to mistakes on the balance sheet 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 achieve a quicker and more accurate 

close – increasing efficiencies, productivity, visibility, and control, while minimizing risk and reducing bottom-line costs. 

Learn how to automate and maintain better control over the entire financial close process while ensuring timely, accurate 

and documented communications between all departments. Hear firsthand a customer success 

story from The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, the world’s largest marketer of branded consumer 

lawn and garden products, on the key benefits and ROI the company 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.
