Consolidation Audit

The Consolidation company has an additional report not available to subsidiaries; the Consolidation Audit.

Consolidation > Processing > Consolidation Audit

The purpose of this report is to allow finance staff to inspect the data in the consolidation company and back-track the figures to the subsidiaries.  The report can either be a printed report, or alternatively it can be exported to Excel.

The Excel version can be particularly helpful in that it shows subsidiary schools 'side by side', together with a total column.  In addition there are 3 worksheets for

  • Actual
  • Budget
  • Variance

An example is shown below:

If you select to Export by Department, a further pop-up question box will be displayed asking if you want Excel to show Department Report Categories, with sub-totals.

It is important that the Consolidation Process is run before this report to ensure up to date data is reported.
