GOVwriter is a comprehensive governmental trial balance software application and financial statement drafting program designed to produce statements that are in accordance with current GASB standards.

• Trial balance may be completed manually or by Excel import
• Trial balance provides for both adjusting and modified to full accrual journal entries
• Entity-wide eliminations
• Revenue coding and budget amounts
• Manual input/importable comparative period data for analytical review
• Computes major fund status
• Complete set of trial balance reports, including sorted and subtotaled by FS Description Codes (lead schedules)
• File portability for field use and client data exchange
• Copy/roll-forward feature retains all coding year-to-year
• Accommodates an unlimited number of funds
• Engagement workpaper linkage

The most time savings comes from the program's copy/roll-forward function. This allows the user to roll forward all coding to future periods. When used with the system's import/overwrite feature, the only coding necessary in subsequent periods is for any new trial balance lines. This often reduces statement generation to a few minutes per fund.

Current Users Include:

• The State of New Mexico
• CPA’s/Auditors from NY to CA
• Counties from NY to NM
