This guide is not a substitute for either individual study of authoritative literature or the use of sound professional judgment. Abila Inc. in no way implies that the procedures outlined here will reduce your audit risk.

This guide is designed to show you how a true fund accounting™ system will help you to more efficiently

audit and advise your nonprofit and government clients. Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ addresses specific

needs such as tracking and reporting on individual funds from multiple sources and complying with

FASB, GASB, and other reporting requirements. With its flexible system setup and built-in reporting,

Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ helps your organization master its critical accounting and administration

tasks. With 30 years of expertise in the nonprofit and government sector, this product provides more

than accuracy; it gives the quality and service that result in greater accountability, effective management

of funds, and more time to focus on the organization’s cause .

Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ provides many features that are of interest to you as an auditor . Someof the

capabilities provided are:

• Comprehensive security for the organization’s database by user, function, and account .

• A table-driven chart of accounts structure that offers an unlimited number of reporting

dimensions. The segmented chart of accounts makes tracking donor-imposed restrictions

and board-approved designations of funds manageable.

• A powerful built-in report writer with consistent setup selections for transaction analysis and

financial reporting that results in unprecedented ease of use. Includes FASB- and GASBcompliant

reporting and drill-down functionality.

• Account inquiry tools featuring drill-down from account balance to source transactions.

• User-defined fields to track attributes and performance data on records such as vendors,

customers, programs, and source transactions .

• Extensive comparative budget reporting.

• An extensive audit trail for transactions, system changes, and modifications to master

records throughout the system .

• Direct export to Excel throughout the system to facilitate spreadsheet analysis.

• Ability to establish permissions to access the data tables directly using Crystal Reports,

Microsoft Access, or any other ODBC-compliant application, making special queries or audits

sampling easy .

Database Security

A user accesses the Accounting application with an established user identification and password.

These IDs and passwords can only be created by an authorized user . Once in the application, select

Security > Maintain Users from the menu . The resulting form allows you to add user IDs, names

and passwords .

After creating a user ID and name, each user can be granted

rights to the Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ menu items .

Rights can be established for groups of users or individual

users . Rights assigned are cumulative . From the menu,

select Security > Setup Organizational Menus to grant

rights to relevant menus .

Figure: User Setup Security Form

After you specify a user, the menu options are displayed in an outline format . This form initially

displays the main menu items only. You can specify different rights for your users at each menu or

submenu selection . The rights specify which actions the user may perform at each menu selection .

The rights and a brief description follow:

• View Existing Records: Recall a previously entered record

• Edit Existing Records: Modify a previously entered record

• Delete Existing Records: Delete a previously entered record

• Add New Records: Create new records

• Process Records: Perform calculations and initiate system actions

Although Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ greatly assists with

system security and confidentiality by providing the means to

control menu and process actions, adequate internal

controls must also be built around the system to ensure

integrity of the data, to properly segregate duties, and to

address other internal control issues .

Read-only access directly to the database tables may also

be assigned using the SafeKey section of the organization

menu settings . Once you have created a user and granted

SafeKey rights, you can use Microsoft Access or any other

ODBC-compliant application to access the information in a

Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ database .

Chart of Accounts Structure

The core of any accounting system is the chart of accounts, and understanding the Abila MIP Fund

Accounting™ chart of accounts is essential for generating the reports you need . Abila MIP Fund

Accounting™ offers a table-driven chart of accounts, which allows users to define each segment in their

account structure, thereby customizing the application to fit their unique reporting requirements. The

system allows you to create as many reporting segments as are necessary to meet the needs of each

organization . Commonly utilized segments include: Fund, General Ledger, Grant, Function, Program,

Department, Location, and Restriction (for FAS 117 compliance) .

As segments are added during the database setup, a segment type must be selected so that the

system can assign a set of entry validation rules for the segment . These entry validations ensure that

data entry is complete before it will be recorded in the accounting system . With accurate data entry,

even the complicated reporting requirements that nonprofit and government organizations require

becomes easy to accomplish . The general ledger segment is required for use in natural account

classifications. A fund segment can also be established, requiring entries to balance and allowing

the user to create automatic inter-fund account entries. Other segments can be set to require full

account balancing; to track only revenues and expenditures; or to track revenues, expenditures, and

net assets .

Limitations placed on contributions by donors can easily be tracked in the system with a segment

for restriction tracking . As contribution revenues are recorded in the system, the user will identify if

the funds are unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted . Furthermore, as assets

are released from restriction they can easily be reclassified as unrestricted. Tracking and reporting

of net assets becomes simple, as the restriction classifications will carry into net assets upon close,

ensuring accurate balances .

Each segment is completely independent of the other segments—the software does not “string”

together each segment to form one account code . If a user wants to add a new department code

to their department segment, they can enter just one single code . Then they can use that new

department code with the other existing segment codes. Rules can also be configured to limit which

accounts the system permits to be used in combination .

Audit Trail

The system keeps comprehensive logs of users accessing

the system, activities performed withinthe system, and all

transactions recorded . With the Advanced Security module,

the system also provides the ability to track changes to

master records including vendors, customers, employees, and

user organization security, as well as address codes, chart of

account codes, earning codes, benefit codes, deduction

codes, workers’ compensation codes, and leave codes .

System Audit Trail

For a nonprofit organization, transparency and accountability are crucial. Having a thorough and reliable

audit trail will ensure that compliance and credibility are priorities across the organization . At the system

overview level, the System History form tracks and logs changes to each database. To view the System

History form, enter the application, then select Security > Manage Audit Trails > Summary Organization

Audit from the menu . On the resulting form, the system history can be viewed and printed . Users can

also filter for specific information within the form itself.

This history provides information about additions, modifications or edits and deletions of maintenance

items from the organization menus . This information is not permanent and may be deleted by an

authorized user .

Summary Organization Audit Trail

Whether during an audit or as best practices for

internal controls, it is important to identify and analyze

changes at the organization level . Whether due to

errors or potential fraudulent activity, ongoing

reporting and monitoring will keep the organization

at the forefront of accountability and control .

There is also a Summary Organization Audit form that tracks

and logs changes to eachdatabase . To view the organization

history, enter the application and select Security > Manage

Audit Trails > Summary Organization Audit from the menu .

On the resulting form, the organization history can be viewed,

filtered, and printed.

This history provides information about additions, modifications or edits and deletions of maintenance

items from the organization menus . This information is not permanent and may be deleted by an

authorized user .

Advanced Organization Audit Trail

During an audit, having the ability to pinpoint errors or

suspicious activity is essential . With the Advanced

Organization Audit form, users can easily monitor and

analyze activity surrounding key records that are

areas where fraudulent activity is a potential concern .

This functionality is included with the Advanced Security

module for MIP Fund Accounting™ . Users have the

ability to turn advanced auditing on by record within Security >

Manage Audit Trails > Set up Advanced Organization Audit . To

view the Advanced Organization Audit form, enter the application and select Security > Manage Audit Trails

> Advanced Organization Audit. You can filter for specific information (date, record type, action, user ID,

etc .) and print information shown in a report format .

The Advanced Organization Audit form enables users to track additions, deletions, and modifications to

key records throughout the system, including vendors, employees, and customers . Most importantly, the

form provides detailed information regarding fields that were changed, including what the previous values

were and what the new values are . It also provides transparency into which user made changes, which

workstation and application of the product was used, and whether changes were made within the UI or in

the underlying database . This information is permanent and cannot be deleted by a user .

Transaction Audit Trail

In your examination of detailed accounting records, you

need a system that allows you to easily examine and

sample your client’s transactions . Transactions that

are posted in Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ cannot be

edited or changed—corrections are accomplished via

subsequent document reversals and the posting of

corrected copies . The system thereby provides a complete

audit trail ofall transactions recorded by each user .

This transaction audit trail uses the following data to identify

each transaction:

Session Number: This is the identifying number for the batch of documents the user is entering and

posting . It is required that this session number be unique for each type of entry . Each user can develop

their own method of controlling and entering session numbers .

For each session number there is an associated description of the transaction series, date, and posting

status, all of which can be used to further group sessions. For example, users may want to leave the session

date the same as the date the session is created . This allows managers to easily determine when the

session was created .

Transaction Source: This is the type of transaction. Example transaction sources include Journal

Voucher, Accounts Payable Invoice, Void Check, etc .

Document Number: This is the number of the document associated with an entry . Multiple documents

can reside within a session but must be unique in number within the session. For example, in the case of

an Accounts Payable Invoice session, the document number is the vendor’s invoice number; for checks, the

check number; for journal entries, the voucher number . For each document number there is an associated

description and date. For some transaction documents there are additional fields. For example, the

Accounts Payable Invoice entry form includes Document Amount, Vendor ID, and Due Date .

Each detailed transaction line includes all account code information, a transaction line description,

the line amount, Effective Date, and Entry Type.

10

Disclaimer

This guide is not a substitute for either individual study of authoritative literature or the use of sound professional judgment. Abila Inc. in no way implies that the procedures outlined here will reduce your audit risk.

Effective Date: This date is used to determine all ledger

activity and balances. The range of available effective

dates may be controlled by someone in the accounting

organization who has access to the Administration application .

There he or she can access the Organization > Organization

Preferences > Entry Dates form to limit which dates can

be entered using the fields Prohibit Prior To, Warn Prior To,

Prohibit After, and Warn After. Each of these date fields may

be created for each type of transaction . This feature allows

users to soft-close accounting periods.

Figure: Organization Preferences Form

Document Date: The document date is used in modules that contain subsidiary ledgers . The Bank

Reconciliation module uses the document date to determine whether a transaction is outstanding or

cleared by comparing the document date with the reconciliation date and the cleared date . The Accounts

Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Encumbrance modules utilize the document date for aging purposes

and due date calculation where applicable .

Entry Type: This is used to separate transactions into four categories: Normal, End of Year Adjustment,

Adjust Opening Balance, and Beginning Balance . All of the Beginning Balance and Adjust Opening Balance

entries are usually accumulated and shown on the beginning balance line of reports . All Entry Types may

be shown in detail at the request of the person generating a report . End of Year Adjustments can be

included or excluded on reports.

This guide is not a substitute for either individual study of authoritative literature or the use of sound professional judgment. Abila Inc. in no way implies that the procedures outlined here will reduce your audit risk.

Transaction Review and Posting

After entering but before posting an accounting entry,

the user can print an unposted transaction journal .

Until a transaction is posted, users have the opportunity

to make changes to the transaction .

At any time, you can obtain a listing of posted transactions .

(See the section on report generation for details .) You can

use this information to examine hard copy reports, or to

export the report data to a preferred file format. If you prefer to examine the data directly, you may do your

audit sample testing via an ODBC connection .

Cash Management

Because nonprofit organizations may have several cash accounts, auditing cash for these organizations

is a specialized process . Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ allows users to maintain an unlimited number of

cash accounts within the natural account classification segment (usually called “General Ledger”). A single

cash account may be used with multiple funds, programs, etc . or limited to a particular fund or program

based on user configuration. Cash transactions can be traced in detail through the General Ledger reports,

Cash Journal, Check Register, Posted General Ledger Transactions report, and Display Balances > Account

Balance inquiries .

For systems that include the Bank Reconciliation module, users can also monitor the status of cash

transactions with respect to whether they have cleared the bank . Reports detailing the bank reconciliation

can be generated as the cash accounts are reconciled, and should be kept on file. Details can also be

retrieved within the Bank Reconciliation analysis reports and in Display Balances > Account Balance

inquiries .

Property and Equipment

Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ offers a Fixed Assets module to assist customers in tracking property

and equipment as well as in generating depreciation and disposal entries for the accounting system .

Depreciation and disposal entries generated by the Fixed Assets module are entered as special journal

entries and can be reviewed in detail from the Asset Transfer Register or Posted General Ledger

Transactions report . Inventory reports can be generated from the Asset List report .

Payroll Transactions

Payroll and fringe benefits are often the most significant

expenses within a nonprofit organization and will be of

particular interest during an audit. Salary expense is a

common basis for allocating many indirect costs to

programs and other functions . Abila MIP Fund Accounting™

offers a fully integrated Payroll module that helps

organizations properly allocate personnel service efforts.

Payroll administration, timekeeping, calculation, and payment

generation is performed within the Payroll application . Payroll entries are subsequently transferred to the

general ledger in summary or in detail . Payroll transactions are recorded with a special transaction source

to denote their origin. Detailed histories of hours worked, wages, account distribution, taxes, and more can

be found in the Payroll reports .

Allocations

Accounting entries can utilize pre-defined allocations through the use of Distribution Codes at the time

of data entry. Distribution Codes allow allocations to be based on fixed percentages, unit measures, or

fixed dollar amounts. Allocations Management is typically used to distribute indirect costs and investment

earnings, and with the Allocations Management module, users can perform allocations to move balances

after the fact. Allocations can be performed based on fixed percentages, unit measures such as square

footage and number of employees, fixed dollar amounts, indirect cost rates or dynamic percentages such

as relative account balances, weighted average daily balance, and more . The allocation calculations are

based on actual or budget amounts for any date range, and limits may be placed on allocations to avoid

exceeding contractual indirect cost limits. Full allocation methodology can be recorded on the allocation

setup and will be included on the allocation calculation report . Allocation entries are designated as a special

type of journal entry in the system to simplify the audit process .

Reports

Standard Accounting Reports

Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ includes a built-in report writer that allows users to generate customized

financial statements and transaction analysis reports quickly and easily. The Report Setup form is virtually

the same for all reports, although some forms have additional setup options . The reporting segments

allow you to analyze your data at whatever level of detail is necessary . Additionally, many reports in the

system contain the Drill-down Analyzer feature that allows you to easily drill down to the source entries that

comprise documented balances .

Full explanations of each report’s purpose, column selection definitions, and options are available in the

context-sensitive Help. To learn about a report, you can click the Help button on any report editing form.

General Ledger Reports

To produce a general ledger report you begin on the Reports

Manager navigator pane in the Accounting application .

Select the Analysis Reports option and then click on the

Reports tab of the Process Manager. Expand the selections

for General Ledger Analysis, then expand the option for

the Expanded General Ledger Report. Right-click on the

<Expanded GL – This Year> description and elect to edit the

report. This will open the Expanded General Ledger form.

This form consists of six tabs: Setup, Content, Filter, Groups, Options, Layout, and Security.

• Setup: Allows you to name the report and define the reporting dates.

• Content: Allows you to determine the column types, sort order, totaling levels, and page

breaks for the information included in the report .

• Filter: Allows you to exclude information from the report.

• Groups: Allows you to report at the Group level . (Groups are a way to summarize accounts

within a segment .)

• Options: Allows you to set options specific to a report. For General Ledger, the important options to

note are:

– Include Year End Adjustments: Normally you will include Year End Adjustments. These are

usually audit entries, and you would only print the report without them if you did not want

to see the effect of the audit entries.

– Include Opening Entries in Detail: Normally you will not include Opening Entries in Detail

unless you do not know what makes up an opening balance . If a user enters Beginning

Balance/Opening Balance adjustment transaction types, you may need to see those

entries in detail .

• Layout: Allows you to set the font style and size, as well as the page margins for the report .

• Security: Allows you to restrict other users from making changes to the report .

The Print to Screen button displays the report on the screen without page formatting . You may use

this to review the report output prior to printing .

The Print Preview button displays the report on screen with the page breaks . You may use this to

review the report output prior to printing .

If the Data Import/Export module is active, the export options include a direct Export to Excel or

export to any of the following file types:

Microsoft Excel®

*.XLS

Print Image *.PRN

Word Processing Text *.TXT

XML Document *.XML

Comma Separated Variable *.CSV

HTML Document *.HTM

Microsoft Access®

*.MDB

Microsoft Word®

*.DOC

Trial Balances

To create a Trial Balance report, return to the General

Ledger Analysis selections within the Process Manager .

There are three different formats for a Trial Balance report:

Normal, Comparative, and Working . Each of these reports

can provide value to an auditor depending on the

auditor’sapproach . The Normal Trial Balance produces

current balance figures based on date and account

selections . The Comparative Trial Balance adds the ability

to select beginning balances in addition to current balances plus variance information . The Working Trial

Balance allows you to create workspace for adjustments . If you use audit software, you will probably use

the exported data from the Normal Trial Balance report to import balances into your audit software.

Posted Transactions Reports

A posted transaction register can be generated for any transaction date, type, user ID, and more .

To get a printout of Posted Transactions, select Transaction Reports on the Report Manager

navigator pane within the Accounting application. Select the Transaction Reports and then expand

the Transactions Reports option within the Reports tab of the Process Manager. Further expand the

Posted General Ledger Transactions and run any of the default system reports, modify an existing

report, or create a custom report .

FASB and GASB Reporting

Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ can easily produce reports in the required FAS 117 and GASB 34

compliant formats. Financial statements are configured using the same report setup tools discussed

previously, with the addition of new reporting options on the Options tab of the setup, as well as a

financial statement format. Financial statement formats are templates the user creates that organize

the general ledger accounts into the properly labeled sections of the financial statements.

One option that exists in the financial statement format is the ability to designate for each section

on the statement whether to display the natural account classifications or the functional account

classifications. The user designates the functional account segment on the Options tab of the

financial statement when creating the report. This enables users to easily generate the Statement

of Financial Position showing the Net Assets section properly segregated by restriction and the

Statement of Activities with the Expenditure section showing functional expenses.

A special report formatting option is available to assist in preparation of the GASB 34 prescribed

Government Wide Statement of Activities .

Budget to Actual Reporting and Budget Controls

Abila MIP Fund Accounting™ can also help prevent users

from over-spending their budgets. Budgets can be

recorded in the system and monitored through reporting,

inquiry, and established business rules to prevent users

from over-spending. The following reports include the

ability to compare budget to actual performance:

• Statement of Activities

• Statement of Revenues & Expenditures

• Statement of Revenues & Expenditures by Period

With ownership of the Budget module, additional budget analysis tools and reports become available .

Direct Access to the Database Tables

There are various reasons to report from the database directly, including writing custom reports in

third-party applications and providing an audit sampling mechanism. The on-premises system provides the

complete table structure and field definitions within the application from the Organization > Default Table

Structure menu to assist you in locating the information you need . Refer to the Security section of this

document to learn how to gain read-only access to the database tables.

The Tables an Auditor Will Use Most Frequently

Looking for Posted Transactions

Almost everything you want to know about account transactions can be found in the following tables:

tblDLSession, tblDLDocument, and tblDLTrans . These three tables contain everything about all the posted

general ledger transactions. If you have user defined fields (UDFs) set up, the following tables relate

to posted documents as well: tblDLDocument_UDF and tblDLTrans_UDF . Encumbrance information is

stored in the following tables: tblENSession, tblENDocument, tblENDocument_UDF, tblENTrans . Budget

information is stored in tblBLSession, tblBLDocument, tblBLTrans, and tblBLTrans_UDF .

Accounts Payable Balances Confirmations

Tired of typing up confirmation letters? Now you can build just one form letter, attach any client’s

tblAPVendors table in their accounting database, and then print confirmation letters for the client’s

A/P vendors .
