Dear All,
Following our suspension of the Oct close process midway, we now have to advise that we will need to do a full closure for Nov as we did for Sep. Please adhere to the same procedures for Nov (as Sep) that we have shared with you in details in our conference calls previously. Please brief your respective Operations team of the same too (e.g. staff claims/reimbursement, collaboration / synchronization with BA team on TECO etc).
The key timeline for Nov close is highlighted below; strict observance is necessary for a timely and accurate closure . Below we also list down the key points to note; one of which is the preparation of a Cash Position forecast. This is necessary given the significant and unanticipated cash movement between 1st and final close for Sep in some countries that created variance between the estimated Closing Statement and Final Closing Statement then.
