What is the “month-end” process?

Written by Henrik Lerkenfeld

The month-end process describes a set of processes undertaken periodically, typically at the end of each month. Most Project Businesses struggle to complete month-end reporting, including financial and operational KPIs. As a result, many forego it altogether, missing out on crucial business performance metrics and making regulatory reporting extremely difficult.

PlanAutomate has built-in processes for the month-end procedure, automating much of the work involved. In PlanAutomate, the month-end process includes:

  • Reforecasting (EAC)
  • Operational and financial risk reviews
  • Operational and financial to-do checklists
  • Formal approval of WBS changesets.
  • Billing & revenue recognition

The month-end process should be a required support feature in any Project Automation solution.
