Described herein is a framework for controlling an accounting process for financial instruments. In accordance with one aspect of the framework, information associated with a financial instrument is received. Receiving the information includes creating a corresponding entry in a worklist. The received information is registered. A work package of relevant accounting steps is derived based on the registered information. A plurality of dates having an open status is determined. The dates indicate when the relevant accounting steps are to be executed. The relevant accounting steps are executed according to the determined dates.

Method for controlling an accounting process for financial instruments

Systems and methods for a centralized approach to multidimensional accounting are provided. Exemplary embodiments of systems and methods include the creation of GAAP-independent and GAAP-dependent posting documents in an accounting database. The GAAP-independent and GAAP-dependent posting documents may be stored separately in the accounting database, and a given GAAP-independent posting document may be associated with multiple GAAP-dependent posting documents, allowing for significant reductions in data volume and data reconciliation processing costs.
