Processes

We recognize 4 types of Finance & Accounting processes:

Recording transactions - These are mostly transacted following business activities: e.g. generating an invoice resulting in a financial booking in accounts receivables.
Recording journal entries for accounting purposes - These are driven by consolidation and closing activities: E.g. Monthly valuation of stocks.
Reporting - the consolidation of financial information for the purpose of financial analysis and management reporting
Auditing - the validating of accuracy of information for the purpose of error correction and fraud prevention.

Additionally we recognize the need for financial planning:

Budgetting
Cashflow planning

Please add further process groupings or add definition to the existing
