The University of Kansas established its Financial ERP System back in 1999. At that point in time, reporting requirements were on a cash basis, so our G/L was set up on a cash basis. Given current accrual reporting requirements, we are looking to update our G/L to an accrual basis with our next financial system upgrade.
1. Have any of you switched your G/L systems from cash to accrual?
2. If you have, what steps did you take to analyze the change?
3. Did you use outside consultants to assist with the change & if so, who?
4. How did you prepare your campus users for change in reporting structure?
