The entity and period index

How to track financial statements by entity and reporting period starts with one index. Give the index a row for every entity, for every reporting period that entity closes. Nine subsidiaries with a fiscal year each means nine rows a year — far simpler than searching nine folders when a lender or a board member asks for one. A holding company with subsidiaries in more than one country rarely closes on one shared calendar, so each entity’s own period end sets its row, independent of the parent company’s fiscal year. The index becomes the working record of everything that happens between “someone should ask for this” and “this is on file, approved.”
