Continuous Accounting And Modern Finance Key Topics At InTheBlack APAC 2016

LOS ANGELES and SYDNEY, Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackLine, a leading provider of financial controls and automation solutions that enable Continuous Accounting, is hosting its seventh annual Asia-Pacific (APAC) User Conference next week in Sydney, home of the company's APAC headquarters.  Serving the company's rapidly growing base of clients in the region, InTheBlack APAC 2016 (ITB APAC) will focus on the need for finance transformation and best practices for accelerating the financial close and elevating finance organisations to Modern Finance status.

The 2-day conference will feature speakers from regional BlackLine customers, including ANZ Bank, CNH Industrial Capital, QBE, Rio Tinto and Toga Group, with Finance & Accounting (F&A) professionals from each sharing best practices learned by automating critical F&A processes using the BlackLine Finance Controls & Automation Platform.

A key theme for this year's conference is Continuous Accounting, an advance over the traditional record-to-report process where real-time automation, controls and period-end tasks are embedded within day-to-day activities enabling companies to continually capture, validate and analyze financial data in a timely and precise manner.  Attendees of ITB APAC will learn first-hand how leading-edge organisations that adopt a Continuous Accounting model are transforming their F&A departments and attaining Modern Finance status. 

In addition to BlackLine CEO Therese Tucker, keynotes will be delivered by executives from Deloitte, Emergent, The Hackett Group and SAP.

Representatives from other BlackLine client companies from around the APAC region are registered to attend, joining BlackLine's team of experts in Sydney.  As part of the company's ongoing commitment to strengthen its global operations to provide clients everywhere with superior service, BlackLine has designed the 2-day event as an interactive session for attendees in the region to share their ideas on how F&A can get the most value out of the BlackLine platform.

Both new and experienced users who attend the Sydney sessions will be given an opportunity to:

• Learn best practices from BlackLine's team of experts and other customers
• Hear how experienced users from other regional companies creatively use BlackLine
• Preview upcoming software enhancements
• Directly influence the product direction going forward

BlackLine has more than 100 customers based in APAC.  BlackLine also has added new sales, professional services and technical support team employees in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia in the past 12 months.
