Abstract
A method of detecting variances in a plurality of accounts from different organizations within an Enterprise Financial Accounting system includes receiving a selection of a first account with an account type; receiving a selection of a first time interval and a second time interval; determining a first amount that is associated with the first account during the first time interval; determining a second amount that is associated with the first account during the second time interval; receiving a selection of a comparison operator that relates the first amount to the second amount; receiving a selection of a threshold; determining a comparison value by comparing the first amount to the second amount according to the comparison operator; determining that the comparison value violates the threshold according to the comparison operator; and displaying a first indication in a portal comprised of the first amount, the second amount, and the comparison value.
