The Pennsylvania Government Finance Officers Association offered a Visual Reporting session at their 2011 spring conference taught by Chris Sturm, Capsoft, and Dennis McGovern of McGovern Consulting. Over 45 finance officers participated in this multi-hour session.
"It was an exciting session because we taught the students how things work behind the scenes," commented Sturm. "This approach puts them on better footing when they need to interact with their vendors."
Dennis McGovern led with topics including integrating financial statement with Excel for eye popping charts and graphs. "I wanted to keep things usable. We have found that users are often discouraged with trying to use visual tools in their financial reporting because it seems difficult," says McGovern. "I wanted to break down those barriers and show them how quality fund accounting products like Sage MIP make interaction with products like Excel easy and friendly."
Chris Sturm added sections on query writing, crystal reports creation, internet based reports and new audio visual tools on the market.
