1. Finalization of COA values
a. CFO has recommended us that let KPMG team review the SONATA COA (Chart of Accounts) Values file already submitted to us earlier. According to his opinion, detailed discussion on this topic is not needed as recommended by Phani. We all agreed to his view point.
b. KPMG team will analyze SONATA COA (Chart of Accounts) values in terms of its fitment to Financial Reporting, Budgeting, Cost Accounting and other critical business requirements. If there are any anomalies in the current COA values, we will identify them and give our recommendations
c. KPMG Consultants will schedule the final review meeting with Finance Super users on this topic after he has completed his review.
