From Close to Confidence with Velixo
This episode is sponsored by . Year‑end pain in Dynamics 365 Business Central environments stems less from effort and more from weaknesses in the close process. Our guest, Velixo senior product manager and CPA Jim Norton, shares his latest views on the implications of a challenging year-end close, its link to audit friction, and the issues that arise when teams are rebuilding reports, relying on exports, maintaining offline roll‑forwards, or tightening controls only in January. For Business Central customers, the risk of audit friction is very real, Jim says, and he shares insights from a recent hosted by Velixo where experts identified some of the typical risks like disconnected Excel-based reports. But Excel can either increase risk or provide an operational advantage, he explains. The right processes and and tools empower finance teams while keeping their Business Central system working for them around close and audits. See also: Velixo's panel discussion: Velixo on MSDW:
