The present invention is a system that can be used regardless of the type of business or the size of a company. In the following, an example of a simplified service provided from a portal site of a major Internet provider for small and medium-sized businesses will be described.

For a company that does not have its own financial management system, it is possible to improve the efficiency of its corporate activities by providing a so-called outsourcing and efficient financial management mechanism together with a consulting function. it can.

A small and medium-sized company that is going to introduce a financial management system in the future, or a company that conducts financial management by extracting and totaling accounting information as needed, and covers the cost of building its own information communication network. It is effective for companies that cannot use this system to introduce a financial management system in a short time at low cost.

According to the present invention, as long as there is an environment using the Internet, even an unfamiliar administrator can easily create necessary financial management materials according to a scheme prepared in advance.

A major Internet provider has set up a home page as an Internet portal site in its service center. When trying to use this system, the administrator of the user company accesses the homepage. The accessed service center authenticates the authorized user of the service center with the access ID and password given to the user company in advance, and transmits the company information registration screen to the manager of the user company.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a company information registration screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The manager of the user company opens the company information registration screen and registers necessary items such as a company name, an address, a manager's department and name, an e-mail address, and a manager password. After this registration, the service center notifies the mail address of the administrator that the use has been registered and the automatically assigned company ID.

The service center 1 charges a certain usage fee to the user company based on the registered information. The usage fee can be based on a usage frequency, the amount of accounting information to be registered, the number of analysis result data to be stored, and the like, but in this embodiment, a fixed-rate system with a limited period is used. That is, the user company can use the system relatively freely, such as performing analysis work as many times as desired within a certain period after registration until a desired result is obtained.

The first step in creating financial management materials is to register accounting information employees to be tabulated and analyzed.
To register accounting information, first, a person in charge or an administrator of the user company accesses the home page of the service center and logs in. Upon receiving the login request, the service center authenticates that the user is a legitimate access right by using the entered company ID and administrator password of the user company.
Send the new accounting information registration screen to the person in charge or the administrator.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a new accounting information registration screen in the embodiment of the present invention. The person in charge or the manager of the user company inputs an account name, a segment name, an amount, and a statement on the new accounting information registration screen. The account name and the segment name are selected from a list of items (a dialog box for displaying the corresponding items) displayed on the screen form. After inputting all the items, the administrator clicks the registration button and sends it to the service center.
These pieces of accounting information are stored in the accounting information database 21 (FIG. 1) of the service center.

The administrator who has received the registration accounting information approval request from the person in charge by e-mail or the like accesses the home page of the service center and logs in. Upon receiving the login request, the service center authenticates that the user is a valid administrator based on the company ID of the user company and the administrator password, and then transmits a registration accounting information screen to the administrator.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a registered account information screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The administrator clicks the input button next to the financial statement name to be created from the financial statement list on the registered accounting information screen. The service center receives the instruction to create the financial statements from the manager, totals the accounting information, creates the designated financial statements, and sends the financial statement screen to the administrator.

FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the accounting information authentication registration screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The administrator examines the appropriateness of the prepared financial statements with reference to the point of view displayed for each financial statement, and clicks the approval button if appropriate. If correction is necessary, click the correction button to correct the corresponding item, and if the correction result is appropriate, click the approval button. The approved financial statements are stored in the financial statement database 23 (FIG. 1) of the service center.

After confirming that all necessary accounting information and financial statements have been entered, the manager of the user company accesses the homepage of the service center and logs in to analyze the accounting. Upon receiving the login request, the service center authenticates the user as a valid administrator based on the entered company ID and administrator password of the user company, and transmits an analysis condition registration screen to the administrator. The administrator inputs the conditions required for analysis on the analysis condition registration screen, and sends it to the service center together with the analysis execution instruction. The service center that has received the analysis conditions and the analysis execution instruction performs the analysis process, stores the analysis result in the analysis result database 24, and transmits a list of the currently stored analysis results to the administrator.

When an analysis result is selected from the analysis result list and the title line is clicked, the corresponding analysis result is transmitted from the service center to the administrator. Analysis results by period,
It is displayed by classification such as by theme or segment. FIG. 15 shows an example of the analysis result by theme / segment in the embodiment of the present invention.

When the user company needs guidance and advice in preparing financial management materials, the user company notifies the company ID and the administrator password to an external leader terminal such as a consultant. An external instructor can access the homepage of the service center from the external instructor terminal, acquire information on the implementation of financial management, and, if necessary, perform analysis processing.

The service center has a simulation program for financial management. The service center performs a simulation for financial management registered by the analysis condition registration means 16 and the analysis result browsing means 17 to make a decision on a user company. It is also possible to provide financial management data necessary for financial management and the like.

[0086] As is clear from the above embodiment, for a company to introduce a financial management mechanism from now on,
By using the system of this service center, the framework of the system is prepared in advance, so that a financial system can be constructed in a short period of time and at low cost.

For companies that have already implemented financial management, the use of an information communication network can speed up the transmission of information by converting work that has been carried out conventionally into electronic data, Since it is possible to perform the analysis process using the data as it is, a reduction in the time required for the implementation can be expected. Another advantage is that many companies outsource and share the core of the system to reduce operating costs.

On the other hand, from the point of view of advice and guidance, it is not necessary to go to the client company every time, and it is possible to provide advice and guidance on the structure of the financial management system using the information communication network and its construction and implementation. Business efficiency. The effect of such efficiency improvement will ultimately be returned to the users through reduction of consultant fees.

The present invention is not limited to the small and medium-sized enterprises described in the above embodiments, but is also applicable to a relatively large-scale enterprise that wants to incorporate more of its ideas into financial management. In addition to being able to use information and communication networks not only open such as the Internet, but also the company's own information and communication networks, it can be applied to any type of business and regardless of the size of the company. It also offers the possibility to create new business forms.
