Accounting and hedge accounting Comply with financial regulations with confidence

Discover what ION can do for you

What is an accounting and hedge accounting solution?

With more regulatory requirements than ever before, it’s a challenge to understand how new and changing rules impact financial operations. Accounting solutions allow teams to create journal entries per local or international GAAPs (IAS, IFRS, FAS) for all instruments and cashflows. Then, you can send that centralized data downstream to ERP systems and analyze and report on corresponding GL account balances. Dedicated hedge accounting tools enable efficient execution of hedge accounting strategies through designation, prospective, and retrospective effectiveness testing and regression analysis.

Why an ION Treasury accounting and hedge accounting solution?

Journal entries processing

Generate and post journal entries for all financial instruments and commercial transactions. Export the entries via APIs or file-based transfers to allow for interfacing with the back-end ERP systems.

GL account balances

Store and analyze GL account balances with the underlying journal entries. View breakdowns by entity, fiscal period, account, and more to gain greater insight into your P&L and balance sheet.

Hedge designation and effectiveness

Avoid over or under hedging while reducing operational costs. Manage the complete hedge lifecycles from designation and effectiveness testing to hedge accounting and discharge.

Derivative accounting

Unrivaled expertise in derivative valuations and accounting per local and internal standards. Generate multiple results from a single transaction and run automated journal creation and exports to the GL.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can a TMS work alongside my ERP for accounting?

    Many corporates with a TMS and ERP can fully integrate their systems to ensure that there is consistency between data reported between the two. Benefits of doing so include:

    • Straight-through-processing of accounting entries from TMS to ERP
    • Streamline payment workflow between ERP and TMS, decreasing the number of payment delays
    • Automation of reporting using key information residing in both systems, supporting regulatory requirements
    • Automatic upload of forecast information from ERP to TMS, to improve the accuracy of cash forecasting, cash visibility and decision optimization
