Oracle Financials Cloud helps ensure strong internal controls and enhances risk management in multiple ways.

You can also transfer balances between banks to take immediate action to address any shortfall.
Asset Management
Oracle Assets simplifies fixed asset accounting with automated asset management. Standard management tasks, such as asset additions, asset transfers, disposals, reclassifications, financial adjustments, impairments, revaluations, retirements, and legacy data conversions, can be streamlined with automated business flows. You can also take physical counts of your asset inventory and load them in a spreadsheet; the system then reconciles the results of this file against the actual data and recommends the necessary actions to ensure the accuracy and control of your fixed assets.
Collections
Staying on top of overdue invoices can make or break profitability for many organizations. Oracle Advanced Collections’ metrics provide the ability to measure and view the performance of your collections activities at various levels. It uses industry-standard formulas to measure and calculate these metrics’ current and historical performance.
Risk Management
Achieving the right balance of control and agility starts with laying a foundation of audit-ready Financials Cloud processes and configurations. It then comes to life when you activate Oracle’s integrated Risk Management Cloud. Automate and streamline the labor-intensive process of documenting and assessing business practices to satisfy your financial reporting compliance regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and equivalent laws worldwide. Then add advanced financial controls that automatically identify unusual transactions, help you predict unanticipated risks, and demonstrate control effectiveness.
