      Use case time!

      Now you are already on this page – thus, we suppose you are interested in using Python in your Controlling team.

      We would be curious to learn your very particular use case. To get inspired, have a read through the following generic ones for Python in Financial Controlling:

      Automate Financial Forecasting

      Automate Forecasting in Python teaches you how to automate key steps of the Financial Forecasting process.

      • First, you will learn core Financial Management concepts, including the importance of big data in building a forecast.
      • Next, you will discover how to use Python to collect data from different sources, including external APIs and how to use Python to clean data for use.
      • Finally, you will explore how to ensure your data is up to date using SQLite and Python, and how to visually express your forecast in Python. When you’re finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of building a relevant forecast that is automated by Python.

      Reporting

      Do you get tons of data from multiple sources for which you need to produce periodic reports? Python is an efficient tool for data pre-processing, analytics, and data visualization. You’ll need to write the code only once to create your first report. Afterwards, you can just run the code on a new dataset, and you’ll get the report within minutes.

      Detect Fraud and Abnormalities in financial data

      Software like SAP for handling all business processes of a company such as bookkeeping, controlling, sales, etc. and hosting a lot of financial data could lead to significant insights. However, working with interated software systems is not always easy and particular expensive, when new modules have to be onboarded for specific tasks.

      Python allows to rapidly build a fraud and anomaly detection system customized for the task at hand. It allows for analyzing suspicious changes, checking for duplicates and double payments, transactions on weekends and holidays, unusual booking texts, and threshold crossings.

      Audit Data Analytics

      When it comes to the financial statement audit, Python can help with extracting, transforming (or formatting) and loading data, as well as testing and analyzing the data and developing visualizations to help view and document results.

      Read more in this AICPA paper how Python can be used for extracting data and transforming it into the ADS standardized format, loading the standardized data, and developing code to further analyze the ADS standardized data set.
