BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, today unveiled Frontier^TM Reconciliation: Account Certification, its latest offering to ensure timely completion of the reconciliation process and increase control and transparency through the automated escalation of exceptions.

Part of the latest release of Frontier Reconciliation, the new Account Certification module fully automates the preparation, review and approval of all operational and balance sheet reconciliations across any account type within a single, integrated platform. The module improves the period-end financial close process by offering clear ownership and tracking of review and approval tasks with the ability to segregate duties by role or access level.

"The cost of financial misstatement and non-compliance is high, and can lead to fines, reduced share price and damage to reputation," said Robert Browning, general manager, Financial Control Solutions, Fiserv. "Our new Account Certification module further strengthens the internal financial control framework that Frontier Reconciliation gives our clients by increasing visibility to exposures and ensuring increased speed and accuracy of information feeding the financial close process."

The addition of the Account Certification module to Frontier Reconciliation means that all stages of operational, financial and balance sheet reconciliations can be performed within the same application. This makes it the only solution available that offers complex, high-volume transaction matching, exception management, and the review and approval process required to certify reconciliations all in one seamless environment.

By using Frontier Reconciliation: Account Certification management now has an unprecedented view of the entire process and can attest to the accuracy of the balance sheet. Particularly important is the fact that it enables organizations to quantify their exposure consistently and accurately.

Other key benefits include:

• Enhanced reporting capabilities that can provide real-time status information on certification activities and ensure high risk exposures are prioritized, escalated and quickly addressed.
• Straightforward configuration and a unique level of self-sufficiency that means clients can meet the changing needs of their business quickly and efficiently without having to use in-house technical resources.
• Multiple levels of reporting, including real-time interactive reporting, point-in-time snapshot reporting and high series analysis / performance management reporting.
• Ability to scale from departmental to enterprise "center of excellence" model allowing institutions of any size to use.
