Welcome to computerized Township Accounting! If you have a basic understanding of Township record-keeping manually, this system will make it easy for you to keep your records on the computer. Data entry windows and menus at the screen guide you through the steps for entering information, updating files, and printing reports. A key feature of the system, is the simplicity of entering each piece of information; and then retrieving it in many forms, combinations, and sequences. You no longer need to use manual ledger bookkeeping or any other record-keeping systems developed in the past. The Township Accounting system will give you reports for everything required to better manage your Township.
The heart of the system is the Chart of Accounts, which defines the relationships between entries. When you define Funds, Functions, Groups, Subgroups, and Item Numbers, you determine how your information is reported.
The system allows multiple checking and investment accounts in multiple banks. Handwritten checks are entered as �already written� transactions or you can print checks.
Monthly Disbursements, Receipts, and Adjustments are recorded. Up to nine different account numbers may be used to distribute a single check. An example of this is one check to pay both Township Office and Fire Station electric bills; or a check to pay payroll taxes that has combined federal income tax withheld, social security and Medicare withheld, and social security and Medicare matching for several employee groups.
A single Receipt, such as tax distribution or interest, can be distributed into as many as nine different Funds.
