Vulnerable provision management
In many companies, accounting provisions are still managed through scattered spreadsheets, email exchanges, and manual controls. Over time, these practices become part of the routine and stop being questioned. The issue is that as volume increases, risk grows along with it, even when the process appears to be under control.
Limited traceability
Without a structured workflow, it becomes difficult to identify the origin of each amount, understand who changed a value, or determine which stage of the process a provision is in. The information exists, but it is not transparent.
Misaligned provisions
Each department works with its own version. Closing does happen, but it requires late adjustments, manual reconciliations, and validations that consume time and increase the likelihood of inconsistencies.
Compromised governance
Manual controls may work in simple scenarios. As complexity increases, they leave gaps that lead to audit questions, uncertainty in reported figures, and loss of confidence in financial information.
"When the process doesn’t keep up with the volume and responsibility of provisions, risk stops being the exception and becomes part of daily operations."
