Abstract
Methods and apparatuses enable finding and resolving intercompany (I/C) transaction issues in accounting data for a corporate enterprise. A data management tool receives general ledger data that defines intercompany account balances for multiple business entities of the corporate enterprise. The data management tool identifies a trading relationship and a currency relationship between two business entities of the corporate enterprise. The data management tool groups account balances based on the identified trading relationship and currency relationship. The data management tool generates one or more reports or indicators that indicate the grouped account balances.
