Convert Trade Data into Financial Control
Customs data may sit outside the finance function, but its impact is financial.
VAT, duties and compliance positions all flow directly from the data declared at the border. When that data is wrong or incomplete, finance carries the risk: liquidity swings, hidden costs, misstatements and audit exposure.
The risks for Finance
Customs errors may look technical, but their consequences show up in cashflow, P&L and audit findings.
Some of the common customs data errors that affects finance are:
- Over- and under-reporting of VAT creates liquidity strain and exposure to penalties
- Hidden costs arise when brokers advance VAT or apply incorrect charges
- Complex reconciliations result from mismatched customs declarations, VAT statements and invoices
- Export risk grows if zero rating cannot be substantiated with the right audit trail
