Challenge
Fourteen entities across four Nordic jurisdictions filed statutory reports on incompatible calendars and standards.
Three different auditors used three different chart-of-accounts dialects. Consolidated figures arrived eleven weeks after year-end.
A 2026 ESEF compliance shift required a single source of truth before any auditor could sign off.
Approach
01
Jurisdictional map
Documented every filing obligation, deadline and statutory authority across DK · SE · NO · FI in one canonical register.
02
Chart-of-accounts unification
Migrated all 14 entities to a single Nordic chart-of-accounts with jurisdiction-specific overlays for local statutory needs.
03
ESEF readiness
Implemented iXBRL tagging and a single ESEF reporting pipeline. Dry-runs executed with all three auditors.
04
Quarterly consolidation
Established a 12-day post-quarter consolidation cycle. Year-end consolidation reduced from 11 weeks to 3.
