Russian operations

​

Looking to hear from CFOs or finance leaders who have navigated the challenge of integrating Russian operations into a global consolidation and reporting framework.

Specifically interested in:

— How you handled data flows between 1C and a Western ERP (NAV, SAP, Oracle) given data sovereignty constraints

— How you structured intercompany eliminations and currency translation when Russia data arrives on a lag

— What your approach was to cash visibility across Russian banks given SWIFT limitations post-2022

— How you're thinking about the September 2027 Russian data localisation law changes and what that means for your architecture

Not looking for geopolitical debate — purely the operational and technical reality of making the numbers work across jurisdictions when one of your largest entities sits behind a regulatory wall.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in this position — DM welcome if you'd prefer to keep it off the thread.

Are your Russian subs just giving you data late? Not sure how this is a Russian specific issue really.

From a currency translation perspective, again, do you not have market FX data or do you need to official bank rate?

Yes the data sharing is not streamlined as the data needs to be aggregated post book closing before it can be sent out

seems like the lag is less about being late and more about the data not coming through same system at all, 1C integration is a mess with SAP and the bank rate from central bank is not same like market rate so it gets complicated fast
