Providing Tomorrow's Functionality Today

Budgetary / Fund Accounting System - Computer Information Concepts, Inc.

Easily operated by Oklahoma Municipalities, Budgetary / Fund Accounting System (BFAS) is an interactive, automatic dual entry, “TRANSACTION BASED” Solution, with eight (8) Sub-Systems - Budget Preparation, Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Capital Assets, General Ledger, Banking & Investment, Daily Statement and Project & Grant Reporting, seamlessly integrated with CIC Payroll / Personnel & Local / State / Federal / GASB Reporting Systems and Indexing / Imaging, KEYWORD Indexing / Retrieval and Productivity Tools.

Although Municipalities are encouraged to maintain their current account code structure, BFAS will accept up to thirty (30) alpha-numeric characters, in nine (9) elements of up to six (6) alpha-numeric digits each.

Budget Preparation facilitates budget planning by providing instant access to an unlimited number of years of your budget and actual expense / revenue transaction history. In addition to maintaining multiple levels of budget submittal / approval information, all budget amendments are recorded and accessible in subsequent years. Later, once your Organization-Wide Budget “what if” scenarios are tentatively approved, each Department may access their own budget worksheets and utilize similar “what if” scenarios against the budget line items they are responsible for.

Purchasing immediately encumbers funds upon purchase order entry. If desired, a Purchase Order with a system or user determined number may be printed on your laser printers and distributed internally and externally. Our System also checks and warns or if necessary, prevents (depending upon your pre-set guidelines) the User from proceeding if the purchase would exceed the available budget and also provides for multiple levels of approval (again dependent upon pre-set guidelines) to facilitate site based management.

Accounts Payable completely manages the payment of vendors for all services and products. Easily incorporating “Drill Down” vendor history, manual checks, as well as 100% automatic check voiding, Accounts Payable automatically produces checks for all authorized invoices. Partial payments and recurring invoices are also automatically organized.

Checks are printed on a laser printer and all transactions may be individually classified in accordance with the current 1099 reporting requirements. 100% Image Enablement of all your invoices, checks, etc. and reports, on your “File Server” via your existing network or our “Server Farm” via the Internet is assured.

Capital Assets is designed to organize your physical assets by using your existing coding schema. When the invoice is received, it is posted and scheduled for payment. During posting, all purchases charged to capital expenditure accounts in excess of a user-set limit (normally $500 - $1,500) are held in an annual suspense file which is later processed by our Capital Assets System. 100% Image Enablement of all your pictures, source documents and reports, on your “File Server” via your Intranet or our “Server Farm” via the Internet is assured.

General Ledger is a full, double entry system, providing statutory, modified and full accrual accounting processing options. Transactions may be recorded in multiple periods and or years for maximum flexibility. In addition to a complete set of management reports, our user defined report writer provides unlimited, “quick” access via inquiry and/or printed reports, to the financial information you require.

Banking & Investments tracks all of YOUR Banking & Investment activities in Multiple Banks, including the checks written from the other various integrated applications such as Accounts Payable, Payroll, Miscellaneous Disbursements and Taxes Payable, along with all receipt activity from the Cash Receipt application.

Daily Statement Balancing has the ability to view detail transactions on a daily basis and to enter summary transactions to verify the totals of receipts and expenses in each fund on a daily basis. This function goes one step further and compares the fund balances to the composite of cash within the various bank accounts. This feature assures that your funds and cash are in balance on a daily basis.

Project & Grant Reporting captures material, equipment, labor and other costs related to specific government activities. Since our reporting is merely a “Slice / Dice” of the same transactions, time-consuming reconciliation to your General Ledger, is totally eliminated. Inquires and/or reports on a multiple year basis based on the grant or project beginning and ending date ranges in either summary or detail can easily be gathered by any “date range”. The reporting includes utilizing a project or grant budget in lieu of the annual fiscal year budget if needed.

Complete Customer Information is collected in one (1) area, substantially reducing data entry. Integration of customer and location information provides on-line history of all customers for each location. You can look up identification information (social security number, drivers license); see dates of the last insufficient funds check or delinquency; review additional properties for this individual (in which there is an interest or delivery of bills / notifications).

Additional information available includes multiple addresses / phone numbers and unique characteristics such as: senior citizen, specific hardware, guarantor, new customer, handicap, insufficient fund check pending or special equipment at the residence.

Unlimited Account History includes information on all account transactions – billing, payments, adjustments – with dates, descriptions and running balances. Account Aging tells us the Accounts Receivable status along with the billing and consumption history.

You may search by name, consumer I.D., social security number, phone number, driver’s license number or utility bill number. You may also search by the premise, account or parcel number – or any part of the information in those fields. You may search by the street number, direction, street name, type or apartment number – or any part of the information in those fields. You may also search by city, device I.D. and / or utility district.

Billing Management provides the option to send / enter reads either manually or electronically. Meter reading data may be automatically transferred to / from an inexpensive “palm top” in addition to many different common handheld meter reading devices plus transmitter meters, etc. through a user defined interface, without any custom programming.

Verify readings with an automatic Edit Report that checks for readings within valid ranges and flags exceptions. You may also create re-read service orders through this program. After you calculate pending amounts, the Exception Report will check for dollar amounts within user-specified ranges and flag any exceptions along with “no bills”.

Payments are processed by date in Payment Management, created automatically by a cashier or entered into a Utility Billing batch. Payments by ACH are automatically created. Non-utility payments are handled through normal batches. Penalty Management can charge penalties on taxes, penalties on penalties, custom penalties, etc. You may send out penalty notices and include / exclude penalties from the final bill.

Tax Management gives you the ability to tax / not tax certain services or customer accounts. This flexible system also gives you the ability to handle different structures in different ways – for example: 80% exempt from city tax on water; 30% exempt from city tax on gas.

Device Inventory monitors all meters, trash containers and transformers regarding location, when it was placed there, the last time it was tested, when it is due to be tested again and when it was replaced. The installation date drives the Projected Maintenance reports.

Meter Reading may be done manually or with handheld computers. Our Utility Billing Software has been interfaced with several vendors of handheld computers for the purpose of automated meter reading. Our billing system works with keypad entry, touch-read, phone-read, and radio-read systems. Whichever time saving option you choose, we can help make the transition easy.

Variances are user-defined to compare the usage as you prefer. You have the ability to re-sequence or change routes and information easily.
