Case 2: Head office abroad with one or more subsidiaries in Germany

Many subsidiaries in Germany need to make assessments and data available to their head office abroad using firmly defined standards. Head offices also require postings and German standard assessments like business assessments (BWAs, short-term profit and loss accounts) or monthly liquidity plans partly in the language of the headquarters or other languages.

DATEV provides solutions for this in the form of software for exporting postings, assessments and analyses using current data formats as well as tools for translation of these into the relevant national languages.
