In this session, we spotlight "Annual Financial Statement Analysis in the Digital Age: From Data Import to Tailored Solutions."

Automated import of annual financial statements emerges as an invaluable asset, enabling businesses to concentrate on core analytical responsibilities rather than being sidetracked by manual data entry, preparation and reclassification.

Join us to gain insights into this practical approach to data handling in financial analysis.

Energy crisis, interrupted supply chains and a multitude of insolvencies the likes of which we have not seen for a long time. These are challenges of an economic policy nature.
