Case Study: Discovery, Inc. strengthens controls and improves efficiency with BlackLine

Discovery strengthens controls and saves 8,000+ hours with BlackLine

Discovery, Inc., a major global media company, faced challenges in its financial close processes due to rapid international growth. Manual account reconciliations and a lack of centralized governance created risk and inefficiency across its five global hubs. To address this, Discovery turned to BlackLine and its implementation partner SandPoint Consulting to modernize its account reconciliations and journal entry management.

BlackLine implemented its Account Reconciliations and Journal Entry solutions, integrated with Discovery's SAP system. The results included a dramatically improved control environment, greater efficiency and visibility, and significant time savings. BlackLine automated manual processes, enabled risk-based certifications, and provided stronger journal entry controls with pre-close approvals, earning praise from both internal and external auditors.
