storing a third financial data outputted from the second application in the third storage device in the standard data format as the financial data for the outside of the one company by referring to the first storage device; and
notifying an external device of the third financial data of the standard data format stored in the third storage device.
2. The financial data processing device according to claim 1, wherein the process further comprises generating a first common data, in which items included in the first financial data are converted into common items, on the basis of a first item conversion table in which items included in the first financial data and common items are associated with each other; and converting the first common data into the first financial data of the standard data format on the basis of a first mapping table which indicates a relationship between a template of the standard data format of financial data and areas in which common items are located on the template.
3. The financial data processing device according to claim 2, wherein the process further comprises converting the first financial data of the standard data format into a second common data on the basis of a second mapping table which indicates a relationship between a template of the standard data format of financial data and areas in which common items are located on the template; and generating the second financial data by converting common items included in the second common data into items of the second financial data on the basis of a second item conversion table in which items included in the second financial data and common items are associated with each other.
4. A financial data processing method comprising:
storing correspondence information between a financial data format which can be processed for each application of a plurality of applications used by a plurality of companies and a standard data format among the plurality of applications in a first storage device;
