28 Managing your Finances Agenda Topic 1: 1: Bookkeeping Basics Topic 2: 2: Accounting Packages Topic 3: 3: Package Demos

29 Why use an Accounting Package Every nonprofit can benefit from one Audit trail, security, integrity, transparency In-built safeguards Flexible Reporting summary, transaction and account reports & drilldown Bank Reconciliation Memorised transactions Budget controls Multi year analysis TIME SAVINGS

30 New Regulation - Guidelines No finance guidelines in Bill Voluntary standard to be created in Ireland UK Charity SORP will be the template Includes narrative Need accounting systems that are flexible to deal with requirements beyond minimum CRO Should include VAT accounting (for campaign) More detailed nominal codes better Need multiple levels of analysis (2+)

31 Some Questions Is the management of our income or your expenditure the major problem? Is our income, high volume low value or low volume high value? Do we have other software which needs to integrate with the accounts package? Are we currently providing the information that our colleagues want/need, and if not where do we need to improve? can we provide ad-hoc reports easily or do they take a lot of time and resources to create? are the systems well understood and can they continue to be operated if we are absent?
