Posting - There's
no posting processes because Carillon updates everything
real-time. How many hours
a month will that save you?
-
Approvals - Most
clients find approvals unnecessary once they begin
using the system, however you can approve transactions
before they update (if you're concerned your users
are error prone or need an additional level of
security.)
-
Month-End Closing - Merely
click a checkbox and hit the save button. (However
the only reason to close periods is to prevent accidental
prior period/year entries from being made).
-
Year-End Closing - There's
no year-end closing process. Carillon allows you to
have as many years open at one time as you like. (However
you can close periods/years to prevent accidental
period/year transactions.)
-
Multiple Open Periods - You
never have to close one month, quarter or year before
processing the next one. You can also have up to 366
periods per year.
-
Support For Demanding Executives - Executives
can get their constantly updated information from Executive
Desktop (which can always be running on their credenza)
rather than calling accounting.
-
Audit Trail - Audit
Trail Reports (ledgers and journals) can be printed
out for any period/year in the past at any time. There's
no need to print reports just to stick them in a file
cabinet. By the way, a member of the SEC Practice Section
of the AICPA designed the audit trail.
-
Spreadsheet Integration - Financial
Reports OLE to Excel so you'll never have to re-key
financials into a spreadsheet again. In fact you can
print a complete custom executive reporting package
at any time with a single mouse click.
-
Drill Downs - Whenever
you have a customer or vendor on the phone you probably
won't have to run to the file cabinet to answer their
question(s). Carillon's powerful drill down windows
should provide all the information you'll need.
