MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A company implements Dynamics 365 Finance and needs to comply with international accounting standards. They must ensure that all financial transactions are recorded in two ledgers: one for legal reporting and one for internal management. Which feature should they configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'dual ledger' with 'consolidation' or 'intercompany accounting' because all three involve multiple sets of books, but dual ledger is specifically for a single legal entity requiring two accounting frameworks, not for combining multiple entities or handling intercompany transactions.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Dual ledger
Dual ledger is the correct feature because it allows an organization to maintain two separate accounting ledgers within the same legal entity: one for legal reporting (typically based on local GAAP or IFRS) and one for internal management reporting (e.g., based on a different accounting standard or internal adjustments). This is achieved through the use of main accounts and financial dimensions, where the legal ledger uses the primary main account structure and the management ledger can use an extended or alternative account structure, ensuring both sets of books are updated simultaneously from a single transaction entry.
