Clarity Systems and Thomson Reuters have recently struck a deal to let users of Clarity’s FSR products access relevant tools on Thomson’s Checkpoint platform. The agreement should help users simplify their financial processes and reduce risks in external reporting.

The integrated offering will let corporate financial executives automate Securities and Exchange Commission external reporting and filing processes, access mission-critical guidance on regulatory changes and current developments as the customer prepares external reporting documents, and provide a platform for all other “last mile” activities.

As an example, from within a 10-K annual report residing in Clarity FSR, a client may select from a customizable list of items to directly access contextually relevant material residing in Checkpoint. Supportive content from Checkpoint will include expert analysis, official text of regulations and standards, searchable SEC filings, current news of regulatory developments, and productivity-enhancing tools such as checklists and charts.
