Automating Plan to Report in the Office of Finance: Life Sciences

This on-demand webinar is a replay of the presentation from the Workiva Amplify Virtual Users Conference, September 20-23, 2021.

Featuring Danielle Dahlstrom, Director of Product Marketing, Finance Solutions at Anaplan, Andrew Onufrychuk, Principal Consultant at Keyrus, and Steven Schwarz, Manager at Keyrus.

Join us for a 30-minute demonstration of the art of the possible. A natural extension of Workiva’s power for statutory reporting, we'll show how you can leverage Workiva in conjunction with Anaplan® to streamline your plan to report processes from modeling to end-to-end board/management reporting. This Workiva and Anaplan demonstration will feature an illustration of gross-to-net revenue recognition in pharma.

Using Anaplan and Workiva, you can simplify and transform the process from data origination, planning, and decision-making all the way through report distribution. Visualize what a real-time connected ecosystem can look like, not just for a team but for an enterprise.

After this session, you will be able to:

  • Introduce your finance team to the “green lines” to automate 60-70% of monthly board/management reports and significantly improve accuracy

  • Seamlessly integrate actual, budget, and forecast data flows originating from Anaplan, including financial data and qualitative commentary provided by operations teams

  • Using Anaplan, collaboratively model and plan across multi-departmental teams including demand team (units), finance team (forecast gross revenue and costs), contracts team (negotiated terms with distributors), and accounting team (accruals and true-ups)
