Entity Management Software: Addressing Inadequate Reporting

Poor reporting leads to bad decisions, false data, and inefficient practices, but finding the right entity management solution can allow your company to create quality reporting that can inform better decision-making.

Your best bet is to find a solution that can help your business bridge the gap between inadequate reports and informed decisions.

The Current Reporting Challenge

Quality reporting is vital to monitoring your organization’s performance over any length of time. You may monitor your teams over each week, month, and year. However, from corporate legal departments to the international payroll team – monitoring efforts may be in vain if you cannot rely on your reports.

High-quality reporting is more difficult today than ever before due to issues like:

• Multiple management vendors
• Multitudes of entities
• Large range of employee tasks

It can be difficult for departments to execute the level of reporting that management may need to make well-informed decisions. This can lead those who rely on the reports, like the report writers, managers, and executives, to spend their time inefficiently. Your report writers are likely putting far too much time into creating their reports, which may still be substandard. Your executives and managers are then also potentially putting in excessive time and effort attempting to decipher and utilize these reports.

Additionally, subpar reports can easily lead to management-level judgment errors based on reports containing inaccurate and skewed data. One or two poor decisions at an entity’s upper levels can cost the entire company significant percentages of its profits.

There are several ways to remedy this solution. Since there are only so many hours in the day, some organizations may opt to hire new personnel whose sole purpose is to streamline entity organization and reporting. However, this is a significant investment and is still prone to human error.

It’s best to invest in a solution that can provide seamlessly organized general and legal entity management results. Technology can take the human error out of your reporting and increase your company’s efficiency from the work floor to the boardroom with benefits such as:

• Centralized data
• Help with saving
• Transparent systems

Centralized Data

Collecting and analyzing data is an integral part of your entity management plan, regardless of how you execute that plan. However, these tasks can become more challenging when you add multiple management systems and processes.

Luckily, there is no need to invest in multiple processes.

With centralization, the messy amalgamation of data is eliminated and replaced with organization, a central data source, and searchable data.

A disorganized and subpar entity management solution designed on outdated processes, multiple systems, or using multiple reporting vendors can result in inefficiencies like:

• Poor value return on investment
• Wasted employee hours
• Poorly informed executive decisions
• Unnecessary hiring of new staff to support a failing system

Inefficient entity management processes can drain more than just your company’s budget. They can lower morale, as the staff knows there must be better ways to complete reporting tasks. Errors can even damage your reputation with partners and clients.

If this is an issue you have faced, create change if not for your leadership but for your staff.

A single central reporting entity means only one set of bills, so your technology is the prime investment for optimized ROI.

Transparent Systems

Transparent reporting systems make your information more usable. They allow the reader to understand different facets of potential decisions. This can help the reader avoid misconstruing the data.

When a system lacks transparency, on the other hand, it can have debilitating effects on employees, entire departments, and even entire organizations. Issues associated with systems that lack transparency include:

• Not knowing where to find entity data
• Not knowing what tasks have already been completed
• Not knowing what other team members’ tasks are prerequisites for your next assignment
• Not knowing what tracking has already taken place
• Lack of clearly visualized organizational structure
• Wasting time repeating tasks, waiting on tasks that colleagues haven’t yet completed, or duplicating tasks

These issues affect even the most diligent employees when entity management systems lack transparency. Technology can help you eradicate these issues from your business and support effortlessly managed corporate records and entities. Get a system that lets you know exactly where the ball is and what tasks are in process.

With an entity management system, there’s no more need to chase tasks or waste your time and effort determining the status of a project!
