EU taxonomy from the postings, not from a year-end search

ARC assigns over 90% of documents to the taxonomy automatically. 1,500 hours of year-end research become 150.

Challenge

The Article 8 KPIs for turnover, CapEx and OpEx were built once a year, looking back over some 18,000 documents. No posting carried a taxonomy activity.

Whether a solar installation or an electric van was aligned sat in asset additions, invoices and lease contracts. The evidence was only looked for once the year-end close was under way.

02

Solution with ARC

ARC lays the taxonomy over the ERPs as a rule set and assigns every document to an activity: eligible, aligned or not material.

ARC assigns over 90% automatically. If evidence such as the energy certificate is missing, the document goes to the team for approval, with the reason.

03

Result

Instead of 18,000 documents, the team reviews about 1,400. 1,500 hours of year-end research become about 150 hours a year.

The turnover, CapEx and OpEx KPIs are ready every month, each ratio traceable down to the document. The auditor sees who approved what, and when.
