Financial Data
Reporting and analysis of financial data are possible directly within Oracle Financial Cloud's out-of-the-box and custom reports. Financial data is also availble for reporting in a central repository called the Financial Activity Hub. Activity Hubs contain financial, employee, student and research system data, with additional data types to come.
Activity Hubs allow financial data to be used for "blended" reports, which combine data from the multiple Activity Hub repositories.
Types of Reports
Report location and the tool used to create reports on financial data depends on several factors, including what the user is trying to accomplish, their access to data and skill level.

Access to Financial Data and Reports
Before you can view, analyze or report on financial or other data, you must request access to the data by contacting the owner, or steward. Each data steward has a unique set of requirements for viewing their data, which can include training, job needs and more.
Access must be requested directly from each data steward. See a list of data sources and contacts.
