+It supports more accurate and efficient credit risk decisions by ensuring your analysis is based on **complete and reliable financial data**.
+
+The Closed Books Indicator is available across all supported accounting integrations.
+
+## Who is this relevant for?
+
+All clients who need to know when their customers have officially closed their books to improve financial analysis and credit decisioning.
+
+## How to get started?

+Contact your **Account Manager** or our **support team** to enable this feature.  
+Once enabled, follow our [API documentation](/lending-api#/operations/get-closed-books-indicator) to implement the Closed Books Date Indicator in your application.
