FloQast Announces Account Reconciliation Management Solution To Increase Financial Close Velocity, Reduce Audit Burden, and Improve Accountants’ Work-Life Balance

Pairs new Reconciling Items feature with current capabilities, empowering accounting teams to manage account reconciliations with greater automation, visibility, cross-team collaboration, and centralized documentation

LOS ANGELES, April 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, FloQast, a provider of accounting workflow automation software created by accountants for accountants, introduced a new Reconciling Items feature and debuted an enhanced version of its Reconciliation Management Solution. Reconciling Items combines with FloQast’s Tracking, AutoRec Matching, and Amortization to manage the account reconciliation process, from strategy and execution to audit readiness. Currently, more than half of all accountants report that they are still using manual methods to support their account reconciliation processes, leading to increased errors, delayed Financial Close, and a growing workload burden that adds even more stress to an already busy accounting team.

FloQast Reconciliation Management is an advanced workflow automation solution that works with FloQast Close to deliver end-to-end account reconciliation management. It is designed for high-growth scaling, pre-IPO, and enterprise-sized organizations that want to drive increased financial velocity and accuracy of the Financial Close while managing the risk of misstatement.

“FloQast Reconciliation Management is a game-changer for managing our month-end reconciliations,” said Sarah Rooney, Senior Accountant at Twilio. “Since starting at Twilio, I have been using the AutoRec Matching feature for my bank accounts, AutoRec Amortization for reconciling our prepaid accounts, and Reconciling Items feature to have all the information at one source. FloQast Reconciliation Management gives managers and leadership greater visibility of balance sheet risk.”

“As a company created by accountants, for accountants, we understand how much reconciliations impact the timing of the Financial Close and how they add to the audit burden,” said Mike Whitmire, co-founder and CEO at FloQast, inactive CPA. “We created Reconciling Items to give our customers a way to manage timing or unknown errors as they reconcile accounts. With FloQast, Controllers and their teams can manage the entire reconciliation process from strategy to execution, with choice on the ‘how’ to perform reconciliations and greater real-time visibility into the impact on the Financial Close.”

FloQast Reconciliation Management takes a holistic approach to reconciliations and allows accountants to:

  • Standardize account reconciliation strategy and process to reduce compliance risk. Controllers can now customize each account’s overall strategy and process by looking at the type of account, transaction volumes, level of risk, and reliance on third-party data.
  • Choose the most effective account reconciliation method. All reconciliations are not equal. FloQast Reconciliation Management gives accounting teams more flexibility in choosing the most effective reconciliation method for each account, from supporting manual reviews in a spreadsheet to full automation leveraging FloQast’s AI-driven Matching and Amortization.
  • Automatically track reconciliations that don’t tie out. FloQast’s new Reconciling Items feature tracks timing or unknown errors and ensures that all reconciling items are recorded, tracked, and managed in one place. Accountants now have greater visibility into the age and materiality of each reconciling item, together with a documented audit trail of resolution.
  • Collaborate and manage reconciliations to a faster close. FloQast Reconciliation Management provides a dashboard that drives greater cross-team collaboration with a summary view of all preparers and reviewers and a real-time progress and status of all account reconciliations. At any time, teams can see the impact of reconciliations on the timing of the Financial Close.
  • Capture at-the-source controls and documentation for greater audit readiness. Accounting teams can now capture all evidence to support the audit through the entire reconciliation process. FloQast decreases the audit burden on accounting teams while keeping auditors happy through centralized and organized audit evidence for reconciliations.

A 2021 FloQast customer survey showed that customers who used FloQast Reconciliation Management combined with FloQast Close experienced a 31% reduction in the time to perform reconciliations. This improved workflow efficiency means accounting teams can now spend more time focusing on tasks strategic to the business.

For more information on FloQast Reconciliation Management:

ACT Expands Global Presence with New Singapore Office, Providing Market-Based Sustainability Solutions to More Companies in the Asia Pacific Region

Firm will bring more than a decade of experience in environmental services, along with an extensive portfolio of products and solutions, to help companies throughout Asia achieve their climate action goals

SINGAPORE, April 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ACT, the leading provider of market-based sustainability solutions, today announced the opening of its new office in Singapore. Coupled with its Shanghai office, ACT can help more companies in the Asia Pacific region take climate action and achieve their sustainability goals.

Known internationally for its economic importance and proximity to the fast-growing Asian-Pacific markets, Singapore is the ideal location for ACT as it expands across the continent. With five offices around the world, including New York City, Amsterdam and Paris, ACT is uniquely positioned to help companies in Asia navigate the sustainability market and achieve their carbon reduction objectives.

ACT’s expansion comes at a critical moment as just this past November, the 21 member countries of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) pledged to address climate change and environmental challenges in the region – where 70 percent of all climate-induced natural disasters occur.

“Climate change is a global problem, and in order to properly address this crisis it is crucial for ACT to continue to expand its global footprint and have a presence in even more regions of the world,” said Federico Di Credico, Managing Director, Asia Pacific at ACT. “Throughout Asia, companies are acknowledging climate change and investing the time and resources required to combat it. With the Singapore location, ACT strengthens its position as an important partner in helping fight climate change in this region – which we expect to be one of the biggest sources of carbon reduction in the world.”

ACT is active in four key markets, including renewable energy, emissions, energy efficiency and renewable fuels & feedstock. It offers a number of services to help companies reduce their carbon footprint, including:

  • Client Education and Knowledge Sharing: Strong regulatory advisory capabilities enable ACT to guide clients through selection, execution, and settlement processes based on their specific regional requirements.
  • Strategic Sourcing and Solution Discovery: With a team of global experts across 40 countries, clients enjoy tailor-made solutions that meet their specific needs.
  • Project Development: Through design and development of original carbon credits projects, ACT helps partners accelerate their climate action with new technologies and innovative carbon reduction and removal projects.
  • Market Research and Transaction Structuring: ACT continuously monitors regulatory trends and developments, customizing market offerings to reflect them. Clients also have access to the latest findings from ACT’s research and development team.
  • Relationship Management and Communication Support: ACT keeps its broad network of clients abreast of relevant trends and market changes, helping them create the best strategies for communicating their efforts and achievements to stakeholders.
  • Ecological Transition Financing: ACT helps its clients reduce energy consumption and supports financing energy savings along with energy efficiency initiatives. It also helps organizations in the French market facilitate their ecological transition.

In each of its global offices, ACT prioritizes hiring locally, and is planning to create several new job opportunities in Singapore by the end of the year.

“Another aspect about Singapore that excites us, and led to our expansion here, is the quality of local talent within the market,” said Di Credico. “We pride ourselves on hiring bright, passionate changemakers, and there is no shortage of those in Singapore.”

In Asia, ACT aims to replicate the success of recent client engagements with global Fortune 500 companies, including its recently announced carbon reduction work as part of Microsoft’s $1 billion climate innovation fund. To date, through carbon credit sourcing, ACT has helped offset 473 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide – equal to 40% of the yearly carbon removal by the Amazon rainforest. With the energy efficiency certificates sourced, it has saved 217 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, which is equivalent to the energy usage of 15 million European households in 2019. It has also supplied 720 TWh of renewable electricity, equal to almost 20% of U.S. electricity consumption in 2020.

ACT’s Singapore office is located at 5 Shenton Way, UIC Building, #10/11-01, Singapore 068808.

For more information about ACT, visit www.actcommodities.com.

About ACT

ACT is the world’s leading provider of market-based sustainability solutions. Since 2009, ACT has been a reliable partner for high-impact carbon projects, energy efficiency projects and certificates, experts in renewable electricity and gas markets, renewable fuels, and emission allowances. ACT delivers tailor-made solutions backed by extensive market knowledge globally. In shaping environmental markets, ACT enables its partners to pursue sustainable futures.

CVG Quickly Responds to Support Its Ukraine Team

Commercial Vehicle Group (CVG) protects its team and production in Ukraine, while installing backup production in the Czech Republic.

One of “CVG 35” who relocated to the Czech Republic from Ukraine to help set up facility.

One of “CVG 35” who relocated to the Czech Republic from Ukraine to help set up facility.

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, April 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG had 1,200 employees immediately impacted by the senseless Russian invasion of Ukraine. Despite a complete shut-down initially, CVG is back to 100% pre-invasion output rates. This quick response was possible thanks to brave leadership by its local team, the resolve and creativity of the Ukrainian and neighboring Czech Republic teams, fast-acting customers, and CVG’s decision to implement fallback production positions with two new production facilities in the Czech Republic and a supply chain from Mexico.

“As we have all witnessed since this invasion began, the Ukrainian people do not back down, and their resolve, commitment to winning, and bravery is astounding,” said CVG President and CEO Harold Bevis. “Our global team quickly assembled itself into daily war calls, and we make on-the-spot decisions to protect our people, continue commerce as best we can, and implement backup plans. Despite the unreal hardship our Ukraine team faces, our employees wanted to keep working, be productive, and contribute to their economy in order to help defeat the Russian army. Our Ukrainian and Czech teams are remarkable, and our 8,000-person global team at CVG is working with them. Two of CVG’s core values are make the world a better place through our actions and help each other. This was an easy decision for the CVG leadership team; it is our core values in action. We are all flying the Ukrainian flag – Slava Ukraini.”

CVG’s local leaders are Jan Chabera, Executive Director of CVG’s Operations in Eastern Europe (PEKM), and Yaroslav Pauk, Director of CVG Ukraine.

They have led the implementation of the following actions in response to the invasion:

  • All employees were initially paid, even if unable to work.
  • Overtime wages were provided for all employees who went to work.
  • All employees were issued a spot bonus while the facility was closed.
  • Upgrades to the bomb shelter near our L’viv facility, fitted with a bathroom and kitchenette, and can house up to 300 people during an air raid/siren.
  • Modified 24/7 work schedules to reduce the number of people in the facility at one time and maintain output.
  • Upgraded the IT infrastructure to defend against cyber-attacks.
  • Workstation modifications will be made for any injured employee wishing to return to work.
  • Assistance will be provided for any employee who wishes to move to or from the Ukraine.
  • All shipments to customers in Russia and Belarus have been halted.

Resolve in Ukraine

CVG and its Ukraine team are deeply committed to persevering through this ordeal together. CVG’s plant in L’viv, Ukraine, immediately shut down and then reconstituted itself quickly, despite having all eligible male employees called into military service. CVG reestablished a team of more than 1,000 mostly female employees in the facility. They are dedicated to staying in Ukraine, protecting the local GDP, producing products for customers, and maintaining their communities and country.

CVG has moved quickly with its customers who are equally committed to protecting and preserving Ukraine, but additionally need to achieve supply chain certainty. This has required extremely fast customer-supplier decision-making. CVG is thankful to all those that have helped it move fast. CVG will continue to fully support the Ukrainian government, economy and people, and urges other organizations with operations in Ukraine to follow suit in ensuring the safety of its employees in the region, but also to preserve their way of life as best possible.

The “CVG 35”

In order to provide backup production to Ukraine, CVG immediately decided to begin fallback production in the Czech Republic. CVG has an existing team, distribution, plants, and banking in the Czech Republic and was able to open two new plants in parallel within a few weeks.

The “CVG 35” led the way – 35 brave women who traveled from Ukraine through Poland to the Czech Republic to help establish the new facilities, despite not speaking the Czech language or knowing the fate of their homes. CVG provided a moving package, apartments and furnishings to this core group of Ukrainian women to relocate to the Czech Republic. Thanks to these women, a large CVG support team, and the expedient movement of equipment and raw materials, the Czech plants are now operational. They are already producing electrical harnesses for electric vehicles and passenger cars. With this startup success, CVG plans to increase employment to 350 people between the two new locations.

As a leading customer of CVG’s business in that region, members of Volkswagen’s team from Škoda Auto visited the “CVG 35” at one of the new facilities in the Czech Republic. That visit left a lasting impression on Karsten Schnake, Board Member for Purchasing at ŠKODA AUTO & Head of Project COMPASS at Volkswagen AG, who posted on LinkedIn about the experience.

About CVG

CVG is a global provider of vehicle solutions, electrical systems, warehouse automation, and aftermarket services. CVG’s corporate purpose and values are to make the world a better place through our products and actions; employ a diverse and inclusive workforce; let our results do the talking and hold each other accountable; have fun and help each other.

“EV Technology Group recognizes the unprecedented support Canada is injecting into the uptake of EVs, and given the country’s strong existing automotive industry, Canada is a natural fit for EV Technology Group’s mission to further accelerate our growth and expand our reach into new jurisdictions and to new customers. This is why we have chosen to list our company on the NEO Exchange,” said EVT Group CEO, Wouter Witvoet. “We believe the NEO Exchange to be an innovative leader supporting the technology revolution, focused on tech start-ups and scale-ups that recognize the potential of industries like ours.”

The Company is led by a diversified team of entrepreneurs, engineers and motor enthusiasts who are creating full market value by creating the total customer experience – owning emblematic car brands and controlling their manufacturing and distribution. EV Technology Group’s strategic focus is on developing and commercializing electric vehicle technologies that have significant growth potential in unique, niche, and underserved markets.

Mr. Witvoet adds, “So much of the focus right now in the EV industry is centered around creating EV brands from scratch. At EV Technology Group, we see value in building a company focused on acquiring existing brands and making them electric, turning them into key EV players. If the world wants to achieve carbon neutrality, we can’t forget that the reason people buy EVs isn’t simply to go from point A to point B, it’s also about enjoying the experience of owning and driving a car. Investing in the luxury electric vehicle market is critical for us to achieve carbon goals in the years to come.”
