Access source data directly

Access systems of record directly
Work with data that is always current by accessing data directly from Oracle and non-Oracle sources. This includes spreadsheets, Hyperion EPM applications, Oracle Cloud EPM applications, Oracle Cloud Financials, Oracle Analytics content, and native databases.

Use existing reports
No need to recreate existing reports. You can bring in your current Microsoft Word and PowerPoint or PDF-based narrative reports, as well as Excel-based reports through a consistent and controlled process.

Combine data and narrative content
Help provide context to the numbers by combining financial statements and data with textual narrative in a single report.

Leverage built-in report writing
Speed up the reporting process. Narrative Reporting comes equipped with a report writer that lets you bring in charts and grids sourced from Oracle Cloud EPM, Oracle Cloud Financials, and Oracle Essbase.

Collaborate securely across the report process

Involve multiple report authors
Bring in subject matter experts across your organization to work on report sections, providing the most accurate information available. Users only contribute to sections of the document that they have permission to access.

Manage reviews
No need to worry about version control during review cycles. Users review and comment on their individual report sections based on access privileges. Users with equal access levels can collaborate on the report content and create conversational threads that carry forward through the entire review cycle.

Keep the process on track
Use the process flow to approve report sections and monitor overall report completion status on mobile or web. Gain visibility of changes and contributions throughout the creation of the report with a full audit trail.

Roll over previous reports
Bring in efficiencies by rolling over previous reports to reuse common content from period to period and take advantage of centralized maintenance of common dates, text, and data.

Publish and distribute reports

Create report books
Easily group management or financial reports to produce executive briefing books and other books of financial record.

Distribute report content securely
Send report content to stakeholders at any point in the report development. Use report bursting to distribute final copies.

Access reports anywhere
Access reports via mobile, web, or Microsoft Office.

Fulfill regulatory reporting requirements

Manage XBRL taxonomies
Reduce complexity by managing and designing your base and extension XBRL taxonomies in the same interface.

Perform XBRL tagging in MS Office
Use the tools you’re familiar with and do XBRL tagging in Microsoft Word and Excel. You can also produce detailed XBRL audit reports.

Validate XBRL tagging
Check data accuracy and compliance by validating XBRL tagging with taxonomy schema rules and calculations. Use regulatory-specific validation for SEC EDGAR Filer Manual rules and IFRS Global Filing Manual.

Publish in multiple regulatory formats
Publish in XBRL, iXBRL, SEC EDGAR HTML, ESMA ESEF, and PDF formats.
