Methods and apparatus for normalizing data, such as e.g., charts of accounts, across a plurality of entities are provided. In one embodiment, a centralized web application is accessed by an administrative user. A standardized chart of accounts (SCoA) is generated or accessed within the web application. When a financial data file from a remote user is received, a chart of accounts (CoA) is generated for the received financial data file. The SCoA and CoA are displayed to the remote user. The generated CoA is normalized to the SCoA by aligning data fields between the charts of accounts and prompting the remote user to map unaligned fields. The financial data file is modified to match the SCoA based on the normalized CoA. |
