General AccountingFinancial Management

Recording and reviewing financial events at every account level

The General Accounting system links the chart of accounts and fiscal years to manual and automatic voucher entry. Account coding and floating accounts, batch voucher management, and ledgers and trial balances make it possible to track account activity and balances. Reports can be reviewed by period, account, cost center and project.

General Accounting: architecture and components

Strategic goals

  • Optimal allocation of limited economic resources
  • Real-time financial transparency for decision-makers
  • Accuracy, reliability and compliance with reporting standards

Integration with other subsystems

  • Warehouse and procurement: automatic posting of receipts, issues, inventory adjustments and cost of goods
  • Sales and revenue: instant revenue recognition, discounts, sales returns and receivables management
  • Payroll: posting of personnel costs, statutory deductions, insurance and tax liabilities
  • Fixed assets: automatic depreciation, purchase, disposal and revaluation of assets

Processing and automation

  • Operational events are pulled in online, with no manual re-entry
  • Accounting vouchers are issued by event-driven rules (rule-based engine)
  • A real-time snapshot of balances and liquidity

Review, analysis and financial intelligence

  • Multi-level trial balances: reports at group, general ledger, subsidiary and detail (floating/central) levels
  • Interactive account review: drill down from a trial balance figure to the source document
  • Matrix analysis: multi-dimensional views (cost center × project × fiscal period)
  • Financial ratio dashboard: live liquidity, profitability, leverage and activity ratios

How General Accounting creates value for stakeholders

    Decisions based on up-to-date data instead of piled-up periodic reports
