Inside the Four Billion Dollar SkyStem Story
In 2007, a publicly-traded global financial services company found itself in a pickle.
The company faced serious compliance concerns from the auditors when it was discovered that the balance sheet was off by over four billion dollars. Out of the 10,000 general ledger accounts, many of them were not reconciled regularly, some were reconciled carelessly, some were never reconciled and important documents were scattered among employee emails, shared drives and personal desktops. The account reconciliation process itself was unnecessarily complex, labor intensive and driven by volumes of spreadsheets. Rebuilding this disjointed process consumed millions of consulting dollars over a period of 12 months.
It is through this experience that SkyStem’s ART was born.
