ALaS iSquare(TM) Offers Financial Services Firms Better Control of Balance Sheet Reconciliation

Posted on: Tuesday, 30 June 2009, 14:11 CDT

NEW YORK, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- ALaS Software has introduced iSquare(TM), a balance sheet substantiation and reporting application designed to increase control, visibility and transparency to provide financial services firms with greater command of the reconciliation process.

"ALaS iSquare is a dramatic improvement over ordinary applications whose focus is limited to cash or manual processes," said Wesley Archer, CEO of ALaS Software. "It provides better control because it affirms the integrity of balance sheet data by substantiating sub-accounts at the transaction level."

ALaS iSquare was designed to effectively manage the reconciliation process in three important ways:

• It increases control by providing a granular audit trail from the balance sheet to all accounts, including trades, assets and liabilities
• It enhances visibility by validating balance sheet data through the reconciliation process, allowing any transaction to be confirmed
• It improves transparency by verifying the integrity of sub-ledger and ledger balances

"The importance of efficient balance sheet reconciliation cannot be understated," said Archer, "the process is notoriously error prone. By implementing ALaS iSquare, companies benefit from increased productivity; more accurate and better controlled general and sub-ledger processes; more timely analysis; easier reporting and auditing; and reduced exposure to write-offs."

ALaS iSquare features a Web-based GUI and a transaction data warehouse that stores journal and trade activity history. Its standard API allows for quick deployment for vendor applications. Trade- and product-level information is displayed on a single screen and iSquare's automated dashboard reporting exports to Excel, CSV and PDF. Users can search and view trading activity at the GL account level based on multiple criteria and see a previous or current day's reconciliations. iSquare also has matching capabilities to manage exceptions.
