Financial Report Writer
WHAT IT DOES FOR YOU
The AccuFund Financial Report Writer (FRW) is
the key to reporting financial data from the General
Ledger. The FRW gives users control of their
Financial Reports as all reports can be completely
defined to meet specific reporting requirements of the
organization.
All required financial reports for internal management and external reporting purposes can be developed in the FRW. The various audiences will require the data with different levels of detail, reporting periods and types of data. The AccuFund Financial Report Writer makes it easy to respond to all users reporting needs.
HOW IT WORKS
The module comes with a number of sample reports
which can be used as a basis for new reports, or
reports can be designed from scratch. To write a
report the user defines columns including
"descriptive" for row titles, "account" and
"classification" to report numbers from the General
Ledger, and "calculated" columns for variances,
totals, differences, and percentages. In the data
columns the user can select types of data such as
actual, budget and encumbrance, as well as apply
account masks to restrict the data in a column to
specific accounts such as funds or departments, or
revenues or expenses as examples.
Rows are defined to include specific account groups, title rows, sub-totals and totals. Typically the rows limit the accounts to groups such as those required in a balance sheet including assets, liabilities and net assets.
OTHER FEATURES
Non-profits and government agencies have
different reporting requirements than a typical
commercial entity. For this reason the AccuFund
FRW includes a number of special features specific
for their needs including:
• AccuFund outputs financial reports four ways: to
a printer, through email, saved as a PDF or HTML
file, and export to Excel or CSV files. Many reports can be used as a basis for "drilling down"
into the account and transaction detail.
• Account groupings called "classifications" may be
utilized for row and column definitions.
• Option for inception to date and date ranges across
fiscal years to meet grant and project reporting needs.
• The ability to re-order the account structure for a
specific report.
• Two versions of a budget can be reported in a single
report, required for GASB 34 but also valuable for
fiscal versus grant reporting in non-profits.
• Besides actual and budget information, the AccuFund
Accounting system includes tracking for encumbrance,
requested, allocation and memo entries.
• All reports may be previewed before printing.
