We live in a society with licensing, regulation, reporting, and tremendous risks for violations. Our responsibilities are to the customers and the authorities who oversee our endeavors. Company operations, reputation, legal standing, and financial well-being are risks. Our successes and failures, and ultimately our profits, are directly influenced by the level of transparency we maintain in our operations. When inaccuracies and errors arise in reporting financial data, regulatory compliance, or industry best practices, bring the group together and acknowledge the problems. Begin the reconciliation process and work diligently to fix it. At the same time, systems should be installed to ensure that the identified problems will not reoccur.

Maintaining data integrity without a proper ERP system can be challenging. Even companies with ERP systems often face poor data quality due to lack of user training, system controls, regular updates, & staff turnover. To address this: ?????????????? ????????????: Examine the entire process from initiation to reporting to identify manual intervention & assess the level of automation. ??????????-?????????? ????????: Analyze data from multiple sources & generate various reports to ensure consistency and accuracy. ?????????? ???????????????? ????????????????: Use experience and judgment to verify that data aligns with current business activities. ?????????? ????????????????: Compare current data with past trends to spot potential errors.

When we face discrepancies in financial data it may mean some laxity or compromises in the control systems or some fraud which is happening. First and foremost thing what I would do is to check what kind of discrepancy it is? Then find out where it's happening? Why it's happening? Is there any issues with the control mechanism? What about the integrity of people involved in it? Is there any issues with IT infrastructure that capture financial data. After getting information about exactly what the nature of such discrepancy is, an appropriate solution would be identified either through in house experts or hiring out side experts. Then would design systems and controls that address such discrepancies.

The first thing would be to find out how and why this happened. Once you find out the how and why, be open and honest that there is an issue that is being addressed. While addressing the issue find out what needs to be done (training, communication, etc.) to make sure it does not happen again.

Para resolver discrepancias nos dados financeiros eu considero como essencial, criar um plano de a??o estruturado. Iniciando pelo diagnóstico detalhado, realizando reuni?es com as partes e analisando dados atuais para identificar erros. Além de definir objetivos claros, como reduzir as discrepancias em seis meses, ou até mesmo no cronograma da implanta??o, no meu caso como rede de franquias eu trabalho essas a??es, dentro do cronograma de cada franquia. Aplico auditorias em cada franquia, padronizando processos financeiros atrelados com cada plano de negocio, e acompanhando valores do capex frequente. Por fim, mantendo a comunica??o transparente com todas as franquias e promovendo reuni?es de alinhamento para ajustes contínuos.
