What is driving interest in a Finance Hub?
Trends driving adoption in a Finance hub include:
• Rapid acceleration of leap frogging from legacy systems to maturing cloud-based ERP platforms
• Opportunity for finance organizations to drive transformational initiatives and manage cost pressure created
by efforts to modernize platforms
• Shift to more frequent reporting and analytic cycles (i.e, monthly/quarterly to daily) driven by regulatory and
management reporting
• Desire to have more integrated financial, regulatory and management reporting (e.g., customer and product
profitability)
• Move to centralized business event-based accounting in order to improve ability to respond to regulatory
demands and business driven initiatives
• Increased complexity of tracing data lineage from final reports back to source environments

Why use a Finance Hub?
Automate critical finance
processes from source systems
through to the core GL,
eliminating error prone, time-
consuming, and manual tasks
Unlock new capabilities and
drive standardization
Integrate, validate, enrich, and standardize transaction-level data from disparate source systems
while providing clear data lineage
Automate reconciliations between GL and business transactions across multibasis accounting
Drill through from GL journal entries to underlying business transactions and source systems
Generate multi-basis accounting (i.e., US GAAP, IFRS) from a single transaction event
Extend your chart of accounts and business dimensions by using configurable data elements (e.g.,
Loan ID, Customer, etc.)
Quickly react to changing regulatory requirements
Consistent accounting treatment across disparate sources

What is the most appropriate methodology to
utilize?The Finance Hub implementation can follow either an Agile approach or a traditional Waterfall approach. Typically, our
teams have deployed a “hybrid agile” approach to successfully implement an integrated Finance Hub for our clients.
What is a Hybrid Agile Delivery approach?
̶ Follows structured delivery stages that fit together with the
agile approach:
̶ Upfront scoping and final testing stages such as System
Integration Test (SIT) and User Acceptance Test (UAT)
̶ Agile sprint-based activities for parallel and iterative
stages of Design, Build & Configuration, Unit Testing, and
System Testing
Why follow the Hybrid Agile Delivery approach?
̶ Rapidly ramps up to deliver a working prototype, followed by
iterative sprints to continuously refine the design and
configuration
̶ Minimizes possible implementation risks
̶ Creates tangible outcomes throughout the implementation
̶ Involves users in key decision making along the Finance
modernization journey

Where can large programs go wrong?
Key risks and mitigation strategies are listed below.

Chart of Accounts (CoA)
Adoption
Shift to new CoA does not
provide the right foundation to
drive business transformation
and as a result, Finance user
revert back to current usage of
the chart
— Design core CoA to support the primary
financial statements for financial (SEC),
regulatory (FRB, FDIC, etc.) reporting
and the starting point for management
reporting calculations
— Approach source systems with “holistic”
strategy to capture all attribution needed
for various types of calculations, even if
they don’t end up in the GL
— Start data sourcing activities early
and use production quality data to
make sure all “edge” cases are
captured
— Allow enough time to perform
extensive functional unit testing
during the configuration of the
accounting rules – KPMG’s
approach is to have functional
consultants thoroughly testing rules,
as they are configured, to minimize
defects identified during Integration
testing and UAT
— Perform quick “validation” that planned
level of granularity in each element will
meet the intended reporting needs from
the GL
— Document clear definition of usage for
each element with examples (e.g., when
to use cost center versus project
segment)
— Establish cross functional data
governance council to manage CoA
changes, to drive consistency, and to
enforce adherence to usage
— Document change impacts early in the
project and empower change champions
throughout each business unit to assist
with transition from old to new CoA
— Create a decision criteria framework to
facilitate Finance Hub design patterns
and associated business benefits
— Ensure the right technical accounting
expertise to support automation of multi
GAAP posting
— Leverage KPMG banking event model to
providing starting point for common
asset classes (loans, mortgage,
deposits, etc.)
— Ensure availability of bank specific
source system experts to assist with
data source attribute identification and
mapping
Accounting Rule Complexity
Effort and complexity to extract
accounting rules from source
systems offsets the business value
and leads to sub-optimal design or
partial deployment of Finance Hub
Alignment of Financial,
Regulatory, and Management
Reporting
If the underlying sourcing strategy
and data architecture is only
designed to support financial
reporting, separate solutions might
be required for regulatory and
management reporting
Rework of accounting rules
Lack of accurate and complete
data from source systems during
the accounting rule configuration
phase could lead to high levels of
defects identified late in the project
schedule (requiring rework of rule
configuration)

With Workday Accounting Center, we’ve been able to retire our custom legacy accounting
hub solution and have simplified our technology environment, improved flexibility and
scalability, and provided greater business ownership and control of software to our
accounting and finance team. Now, financial data is provided to accountants using
business language, without the need for technical interpretation. Financial reporting is
done in Workday, and we’ve been able to improve the systems used for financial analysis,
data lineage, and error correction. And, we’re pleased that we’ve already reduced our cost
of ownership while also being able to introduce new capabilities faster.
