SYSPRO Reporting Services (SRS) is a next generation reporting tool that incorporates an embedded version of Crystal Reports XI. By interlacing the rich reporting and metrics generating capabilities of Crystal, XML and the Microsoft .NET architecture of SYSPRO, customers are delivered a unified, cost-effective reporting and metrics generating solution that further simplifies their operational effectiveness. SYSPRO Reporting Services enables users to extract and mine their information to virtually any level of complexity, complete with tailored web and paper based delivery options together with extensive preferences and layout features, such as graphs. SYSPRO Reporting Services uses Crystal X1 as its report writer. SYSPRO e.net solutions, based on Microsoft .NET architecture, is a component framework that provides the foundation for easy integration with any best-of-breed custom or third party solutions, and enables the adoption of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA.) SYSPRO Analytics enables users to create multi-dimensional views of their financial and operational data to determine patterns and underlying trends, gauge performance and reveal new pathways.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) were created by the International Accounting Standards Board to promote internationally comparable financial statements. Regulation 2002/3626 requires European Union organizations to prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS/IAS. This means that publicly traded companies will need to adhere to IFRS while still complying with local tax, dividend, and other regulations, which requires at least two sets of financial statements. Capital markets demand comparable numbers for investment decisions so even non-listed companies will be forced to issue IFRS-compliant financial statements. SYSPRO Financials, SRS and SYSPRO Analytics gives companies comprehensive functionality for parallel accounting to support both IFRS and local regulations around the world, enabling them to adhere to complex accounting standards, meet the requirements of the capital and financial markets and ensure the reliability and transparency of their financial reporting.

Corporate governance requires defined processes with tighter controls and accountability. Global standards provide the ability to highlight, monitor and analyze deviations from these standards. SYSPRO acknowledges and complies with new requirements issued by regulatory bodies such as European Union, FDA, IAS (International Accounting standards), GAAP (Generally accepted accounting practices) and Sarbanes Oxley. The need for managing by exception resulted in the powerful, flexible design of SYSPRO Electronic Signatures. Companies can design the level of security required for each transaction. In addition, the successful completion of the transaction can trigger multiple configurable actions, keeping key players informed. SYSPRO offers companies greater ability to maintain auditable business processes, financial transparency and operational control.
