Buyer’s decision checklist

Before shortlisting a product, document your must-have processes, entities, currencies, data sources, security constraints, user groups and expected timeline. Ask each vendor to demonstrate the same scenarios using your data.

Common selection and implementation risks

Avoid choosing from a polished demo alone. The most common failures come from unclear ownership, over-customisation, weak master data, underestimated integration work and insufficient finance-user testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can consolidation software handle IFRS 10 and local Taiwan GAAP?

Yes. Modern platforms keep IFRS and local adjustments as separate layers with a full audit trail.

How long does a consolidation project take?

Usually 3 to 6 months depending on the number of entities, currencies and ERP sources.
