EMEA Companies Receive More Global Financial Features for Operational Efficiency

The new features released in NetSuite OneWorld give organisations across EMEA rich new capabilities, including book-specific intercompany journal entries, cross book reporting, deferred expense roll forward report, and GL audit numbering in searches and reports to fulfill Storno requirements for reversing transactions. The new features also improve auditability, giving companies even greater financial controls.
“With these new OneWorld features, companies in EMEA are reaping the benefits of NetSuite’s ongoing commitment to the region, now backed by the resources of Oracle,” said Craig Sullivan, Group Vice President of Product Development for NetSuite. “From dealing with the complexities of acting global in operating across multiple jurisdictions, to easier bank reconciliation, to being local and keeping up with the latest taxation and regulatory changes, NetSuite customers know they have a platform and partner that is ready to support their needs now for their next.”
