FAQ
Answers for group controllers.
Can we mix HKFRS and local statutory books via mapping?+
Yes. Each entity keeps its local CoA and statutory quirks; a mapping layer rolls balances into the group CoA for reporting. Local books stay pristine for audit.
How do parent and subsidiary permissions work?+
Roles are scoped per legal entity. Group controllers can read across; local teams only see their books. Consolidation actions require the reviewer role.
How many entities are supported?+
There is no fixed cap — production groups run 20+ entities across HK, SG, MY and mainland China on HeyBen today.
Do eliminations leave an audit trail?+
Every posted elimination stores the rule, the paired legs, the reviewer and timestamp. Auditors can drill from the group TB down to each contributing subsidiary entry.
Can accounting firms run multiple client groups?+
Yes — firms manage each client group in its own workspace, with staff assigned per engagement. Firm-level dashboards surface close status across clients.
