What Oracle Fusion EPM Delivers
Planning and Consolidation
In One Platform. Not Two Spreadsheets. Most enterprise finance teams run their budget process in Excel — collecting submissions from 40 business units, consolidating them manually, and spending 3 months producing a plan that is obsolete by the time it is approved. The consolidation process for statutory reporting takes another 5 to 10 days because the data lives in the ERP and the reporting model lives in a separate tool. Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM replaces both — with a planning model that pulls live actuals from Oracle Fusion Finance, a consolidation engine that handles multi-entity, multi-GAAP, multi-currency consolidation automatically, and a reporting layer that produces board packs and management accounts from the same validated data.

Planning and budgeting with driver-based modelsOracle PBCS — driver-based planning models that replace spreadsheet budgets. Business units submit online, finance consolidates automatically, and the CFO sees a live consolidated view from day one of budget cycle — not day 90.
Financial consolidation and close (FCCS)Oracle FCCS automates intercompany eliminations, currency translation, and equity adjustments across all legal entities — reducing consolidation from 5 to 10 days to 1 to 2 days for companies with up to 200 entities.
Account reconciliation (ARCS)Oracle ARCS automates balance sheet account reconciliations — matching subledger balances to GL, flagging discrepancies, and tracking sign-off status across all accounts and reconcilers in real time.
Narrative reporting for board packsOracle Narrative Reporting connects financial data, written commentary, and charts in a single report — eliminating the last-minute copy-paste exercise that corrupts numbers between the CFO's presentation and the board pack.

Oracle EPM Cloud Suite
Four EPM Products.One Unified Performance Platform. Oracle EPM Cloud is not a single product — it is a suite of specialised applications that connect to each other and to Oracle Fusion Finance. Symhas implements all four and integrates them from day one.
Oracle PBCS — Planning & BudgetingDriver-based planning, workforce planning, capital planning, and financial modelling — with pre-built templates for P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow. Planning cycles reduced from 90 days to 30 days on every Symhas engagement.
Oracle FCCS — Financial ConsolidationMulti-entity, multi-GAAP financial consolidation — automated intercompany eliminations, currency translation using Oracle-managed exchange rates, equity pick-up, and consolidation audit trail. Handles up to 3,000 entities.
Oracle ARCS — Account ReconciliationAutomated balance sheet reconciliation — transaction matching, balance comparison, and preparer/reviewer workflow. Reduces manual reconciliation time by 60–70% and provides real-time visibility of reconciliation status across all accounts.
Oracle Narrative ReportingBoard packs, management accounts, and regulatory reports — assembled from live EPM data with embedded charts, tables, and commentary in a single collaborative authoring environment. Published to PDF, Word, or HTML.
Oracle Fusion Finance IntegrationEPM Connect integration — live actuals from Oracle Fusion GL directly into PBCS and FCCS, eliminating the manual data extract that introduces errors and lag between the source system and the planning model.
Management Reporting & AnalyticsOracle Analytics Cloud connected to EPM — CFO dashboards, business unit scorecards, KPI monitoring, and ad-hoc analysis with Smart View Excel integration for finance teams that need to work outside the browser.

Budget Cycle from 90 Days to 28 Days. "We spent four months doing the budget and another week doing the consolidation every month. Oracle EPM did both — and the first consolidation after go-live took a day and a half. The CFO sent an email asking if something had gone wrong because it finished so quickly."
