This webinar will take place on:
06 March, 2025
11:00 AM - 11:45 AM GMT


As the numbers of shared service centres continue to expand, so does the scope of their processes (77% of SSO/GBS planning to expand their scope next year), with record-to-report in the top three processes most commonly covered. In a recent survey with SSON Research & Analytics, nearly 70% of respondents were already managing some form of reporting through a centralised approach and another 20% plan to move that way in the future.

The benefits to centralizing statutory reporting are vast. They include improved accuracy and consistency, enhanced compliance, risk mitigation, increased efficiency and of course cost-savings. Centralising statutory reporting also allows GBS to provide unheard of strategic insight, positioning themselves as crucial insight engines to the C-Suite. However, the journey is not without challenges. In this webinar we’ll break down the pre-requisites for centralising reporting, the technology that can help and the factors which make implementation a success.

Attendees to this webinar will learn more about:

  • A case-study on a large MNC’s journey to centralising statutory reporting
  • The effort needed and specific challenges of centralising statutory reporting (and how to overcome them)
  • Resourcing explained: Competencies, activities and scope-of work
  • Balancing global and local requirements: When do you flex?
  • Risks: The risks associated with centralizing statutory reporting that you must be aware of
  • The role of technology and automation
