Overview Participants will learn how to set up their chart of accounts, including funds and functions, work in a batch environment to post entries to journals, and create their own financial statements. Participants are encouraged to bring samples of their financial reports. Workshop time will be allotted to create some of these reports.
In order for participants to gain an in-depth understanding of the BTI/HSS General Ledger software as it relates to their agency, we suggest they copy their general ledger files to a tape and forward the tape to BTI Support prior to the scheduled class. These files will be copied to the participants company file and may be used during the training course. This will give individuals the opportunity to work with their own data and create financial statements that are directly related to their financial needs.
Prerequisites Participants should have basic general accounting experience with some knowledge of the agency's general ledger practices, cost analysis needs, payroll, and payables. Some experience with the AS/400, sign on procedures, and keyboard functions would also be helpful.
Intended Audience CFO, Controllers, Accountants, or individuals responsible for posting entries to the general ledger, Supervisors that oversee the GL functions, and MIS personnel that want a thorough understanding of BTI/HSS General Ledger.
