Reckon One
It is a Scout Association requirement that the financials be audited annually. This can be done by anyone who has financial experience and who has not been involved in the recording process. A group should never pay to have their books audited. If you cannot find someone to audit, the Branch Finance Team is available to do this for you.
Process
Over the past year or so, the Finance Team have been investigating accounting packages that would be easy to operate for Group/Section Treasurers but also give visibility of finances to head office. Much like the move to CommBiz, Operoo and Microsoft 365 it is beneficial for all groups/sections to operate on the one platform. To this end the package that has been selected is Reckon One. This package offers:
- Over-arching Headquarters visibility
- Each group can access their own accounts
- Administration and Setup
- User Roles
- Create Payments & Track Receipts
- Customisable Dashboard & Templates
- Budgets
- Reporting
- Create Invoices & Bills
- Enter & Pay Bills
- Convert Estimate to Bills
- Accept Credit, Debit & Paypal payments
- Sales Approvals
- Purchase Approvals
- Service Dates on Invoices
- Document Storage
- Recurring Invoices
The total cost of the package currently is $200 per year which will be paid by Scout Head Office and on-billed to groups.
