Decentralized Intercompany Reconciliation

Shared, immutable ledgers create a single source of truth for transactions between subsidiaries, joint ventures, and partners. This eliminates the root cause of disputes—mismatched data—by ensuring all parties see the same validated records in real-time.

• Example: A global manufacturer reduced inter-entity settlement disputes by 95% by moving to a permissioned blockchain, cutting reconciliation time from weeks to hours.

Every transaction is cryptographically sealed with a tamper-proof audit trail. This automates compliance reporting for regulations like SOX and provides regulators with real-time, read-only access to verified data.

• Key Benefit: Slash internal and external audit preparation costs by up to 70% by providing auditors with direct, permissioned access to the immutable ledger, eliminating manual evidence gathering.

Automate manual reconciliation tasks and eliminate redundant data entry across ERP systems. Smart contracts can automatically match invoices, process settlements, and trigger payments when pre-defined conditions are met.

• ROI Driver: A financial services consortium reported a 40% reduction in reconciliation headcount costs and a 30% faster month-end close after implementation.

Accelerate settlement cycles from net-30/60/90 terms to near real-time. This frees up trapped capital in intercompany receivables and improves cash flow forecasting accuracy.

• Business Impact: Companies can reduce their Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) significantly, turning intercompany balances from a liability into liquid assets that can be redeployed for growth.

Replace manual journal entries and email chains with smart contracts that automatically execute and record intercompany transactions. Every transfer, fee, and adjustment is immutably logged, creating a perfect audit trail. This reduces month-end close cycles by up to 70% and eliminates reconciliation disputes.

• Example: A multinational automaker uses a private ledger to automate parts transfer pricing between its 50+ subsidiaries, cutting reconciliation time from 15 days to 2.

Gain a consolidated, real-time view of intercompany payables and receivables across all entities. This enables dynamic netting and optimized internal capital allocation, reducing external borrowing needs and idle cash.

• Benefit: CFOs can see intra-group positions instantly, improving working capital efficiency by 20-30%.
• Outcome: One global retailer reduced its external short-term debt by $120M annually by implementing blockchain-based internal netting.

Automatically enforce and prove compliance with transfer pricing regulations and internal policies. All transactions are timestamped, signed, and linked to the governing legal agreement, simplifying regulatory audits and internal controls.

• Key Feature: Immutable proof for tax authorities, drastically reducing audit preparation time and risk of penalties.
• ROI: A pharmaceutical company cut its annual compliance documentation costs by over $2M.

A shared, permissioned ledger means all parties see the same data simultaneously. This eliminates the root cause of disputes—data mismatches—freezing operational teams from costly investigation and correction cycles.

• Impact: Near-zero dispute resolution costs and improved trust between business units.
• Real-World: An energy conglomerate eliminated 95% of its intercompany invoice disputes within the first year of deployment.

Deploy without a full-scale ERP replacement. Blockchain acts as a synchronization layer, connecting disparate SAP, Oracle, or custom systems. Each ERP posts to and reads from the shared ledger, ensuring consistency without disruptive migration.

• Implementation Path: Phased rollout, entity by entity, minimizing risk and upfront investment.
• Benefit: Achieve system-wide synchronization while protecting existing IT investments.

Justify investment with a clear, low-risk roadmap. Start with a pilot for high-volume, low-complexity transactions (e.g., royalty payments) to prove value, then expand.

• Phase 1 (6 mos): Pilot for 2-3 entities, targeting a specific process. Expected ROI: 6-12 month payback on pilot costs.
• Phase 2 (18 mos): Scale to all major entities and transaction types, unlocking full working capital and compliance benefits.
