Enterprise Financials/Standard Financials

The QAD Enterprise Applications financials suite is available in two editions, Enterprise Financials and Standard Financials. Both editions provide comprehensive controls and capabilities needed to support global financial reporting and disclosure. With these processes built into the software, manufacturers can focus on their business, not their software.

QAD Standard Financials solution is a seamlessly integrated financial solution that addresses the typical needs of globally operated manufacturing companies. It allows manufacturers to gain important benefits by streamlining financial processes from planning, to recording, to reporting, and complying.

QAD Enterprise Financials addresses more complex regulatory requirements, stricter segregation of duties, and more controls as required by larger, more complex enterprises. Enterprise Financials includes sophisticated budget modeling capabilities, advanced reporting, multiple reporting layers that simplify complex Multi-GAAP reporting requirements and enhanced audit capabilities.

• Drive efficient processes: Supports both shared services and local autonomy
• Streamline regulatory reporting: Built in support for compliance requirements
• Increase efficiency: Includes eliminations, consolidations and GL allocations
• Improve visibility: Provides insight into operations around the world
