Effective management demands access to concise, meaningful information
in order to make accurate decisions that will result in optimal
outcomes. The Stamina Financial Reporting System builds upon the
power of the General Ledger to provide a flexible reporting tool
capable of providing you with the unique management reports appropriate
to your decision making processes and business needs.
Balance Sheets,
Profit Statements, Source and Application of Funds Statements, Trading
Statements and Supporting Schedules are just some of the reports
that can be produced by the system, which can access any information
from your financial database.
You have total
control over the vertical and horizontal presentation of a report,
through a unique definition for each axis. The definition process
is simple and straight forward, allowing changes and new reports
to be generated with a minimum of effort.
Each Report
Heading, or vertical definition, allows up to 100,000 print lines
to be specified, each controlling spacing, general formatting like
printing column and under/over-lines, totalling, ratio definitions
and the source of information for that line.
Information
can be extracted from an external text file, an internal description,
specific accounts, categories or category groups, or any of the
100,000 separate totals or sub-totals allowed within a report, giving
you total control over the order and detail of information presented
within a report.
Report Columns,
or horizontal definitions, control the order of columns within a
report, and further refines the source of information for each column
to a specific time period. A column can reference actual or budget
information from any financial year or period, perform calculations,
express exact or rounded figures or percentages or contain textual
information. There are no limits placed upon the age references
for a column, so it is possible to have columns containing comparative
or budget figures for the last 50 years, or expressing variations
between any of these in either dollar or percentage terms. You also
control the width of each column, and using compressed printing
mode can define reports up to 240 characters wide.
Generating a
management report is then simply a matter of combining a horizontal
and vertical report format with any group of accounting entities,
allowing for unlimited consolidation possibilities. To include additional
comparative or analytic information in a report it is simply necessary
to change one or more of these combined factors.
Standard combinations
of report formats and accounting entities can be stored as a single
Run Option, which can produce any number of reports with a single
request, greatly simplifying end of period reporting procedures.
Additionally,
the Participation Equity Accounting feature allows a group of accounting
entities to be established that exactly reflects the ownership of
these entities. It is then possible to produce financial reports
that exactly reflect this ownership, producing truly tailored financial
reports.
There are no
logical limits on the number of Report Headings, Columns and Entity
Groups that can be maintained on the system, giving you an almost
infinite range of reporting possibilities.
