Effective governance aligns units, shares responsibility, and prioritizes student-focused strategic goals.
Ellucian Live 2014 Presentation on Reporting and BIKent Brooks
This document summarizes a presentation about seven Wyoming community colleges migrating to a single statewide reporting system. The key points are:
1) The colleges previously had challenges with consistency, timing and accuracy of aggregate reporting to state entities due to using separate systems, so they migrated to a single SQL platform and reporting system.
2) The multi-year project involved migrating all colleges to the SQL environment, implementing Business Objects for reporting, designing a standard data set, and setting up a system for the Commission Office to report on behalf of the colleges.
3) Lessons learned included starting data preparation early, redesigning processes, rigorous testing, and later implementing additional business intelligence tools for real-time ad hoc

The automated system is intended to reduce labor costs and improve performance by remotely monitoring and controlling plant operations.
The Chapter four Financial Statements of my book named "The System of Accounting" Volume II is uploaded with a view to have reward as appreciation with comments and likes enables writer to think more and work.
Revenue and expense accounts are closed at the end of each reporting period by resetting their balances to zero. This allows the firm to 1) determine its net profit for the period, 2) reset balances so net profit can be calculated for the next period, and 3) complete the accounting cycle and prepare required financial reports. Closing is necessary to comply with accounting principles such as the reporting period principle and relevance, which require separating transactions and financial results into discrete accounting periods.
5 Key Audit Procedures for Rock-Solid Trial Balanceseprentise
Sound financial reporting starts with a complete, consistent, and correct trial balance. If you suspect there may be errors or omissions on the trial balance that uncertainty can result in management being in the uncomfortable position of doubting the quality and integrity of the roll-up corporate financial statements. This is a tough position to be in especially for external and tax reporting where errors can be costly and damaging. The solution to this uncertainty lies in borrowing a few key procedures that your auditors routinely perform to assure the correctness of period end trial balances. In this webinar, we will look at five of the most common and effective audit procedures to ensure rock sound financial reporting.
Learning Objectives: After completion of this program you will be able to:
Objective 1: Identify some of the most common errors and omissions in trial balances.
Objective 2: Understand how to perform five of the most common procedures auditors perform on period end trial balances and how to analyze and use the results to find and correct problems.

The document summarizes the closing process which involves 5 steps:
1) All revenue accounts are closed together to the profit and loss summary account
2) All expense accounts are closed together to the profit and loss summary account
3) The profit and loss summary account is closed to the capital account, transferring the net profit or loss for the period
4) The drawings account is closed to the capital account to record withdrawals of capital
5) The capital account is balanced to carry forward the updated balance to the next period.
The document summarizes the key steps in completing the accounting cycle, including preparing a work sheet, closing the books, and creating a post-closing trial balance. A work sheet is a multi-column form used to record adjustments and prepare financial statements. Closing the books involves transferring revenue, expense, and net income amounts to temporary accounts and then to owner's equity. The post-closing trial balance proves the equality of permanent account balances carried forward to the next period.
