Case Study: Technicolor achieves tighter VAT controls and autonomous data access with ACL Analytics Exchange

Technicolor Tightens Vat Controls with ACL™ Analytics Exchange

Technicolor, a global media-technology company with nearly 25,000 employees in 44 countries, needed a way for its tax team to identify and limit complex European VAT risks while gaining continuous, autonomous access to large accounting data files without relying on IT. Existing spreadsheet tools were inadequate for large datasets, SOX compliance and timely, repeatable tax reviews.

By implementing ACL Analytics Exchange the tax department can directly extract and analyze large SAP data feeds, share analysis scripts via a central repository, and quickly pinpoint VAT anomalies. The solution tightened internal controls, improved risk detection and cash-recovery opportunities, reduced errors and potential penalties, and made data access and audits faster and more reliable.
