A demo on an Excel-based template designed to ease the reconciliation process for college and department personnel. The template eliminates double-entry of records into separate requisition logs and shadow spreadsheets thus saving time and reducing data entry errors. Accomodates all transactions from different fund types (General Fund, Trust, Lottery, IRA, and auxiliary accounts) thereby eliminating the need to keep separate records of different funds. Allows for cost and budget revenue projections giving the department a more accurate balance from each fund. The template utilizes several Excel tools such as 1) LOOKUP to verify the account codes used in each transaction, 2) VALIDATION RULE that limits entries to allowable values thus reducing errors, and 3) PIVOT TABLES to general multiple management financial reports in an easy-to-read format.
How do we motivate people to create a synergistic work environment when we don't seem to be speaking the same language? Identifying the differences and similarities between Generation X and Generation Y, this program focuses on how we can truly understand, appreciate and speak effectively with each other.
