History of Reporting

► Georgia produces 5 main financial reports annually Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) Budgetary Compliance Report (BCR) Selected Summary Financial Information (Treasury

Operations) Single Audit Report (SAR*) Section 1512 Reporting (produced quarterly) (ARRA*)

• For FY2010 & FY2011 reporting Hyperion was used for the CAFR, BCR and Treasury Operations. SAR and ARRA have not been migrated to Hyperion.

History of Reporting

► 50 organizations are reported in the BCR ► Approximately 350 trial balances (comprised of ~130

organizations) are reported in the CAFR ~ 45 of the organizations reported in the CAFR are on a

common ledger system (PeopleSoft). ► PeopleSoft primarily maintains ledgers on a

statutory (budget) basis and is converted to GAAP reporting is collected through year-end forms. SAO utilizes the data on the year-end forms and other

sources to post conversion entries in HFM. Data is also gathered from CPA audited financial

statements for some organizations included in the CAFR.

Challenges with Legacy System

► Time CAFR and BCR were not consistently being issued by

required 12/31 deadline

► Cost Create separate import files for each organization Manually map each line of T/B to the applicable reporting line Consolidation of various reporting levels could take hours and

the system (Caseware) often crashed prior to completion. Manually enter information collected in year-end forms to

consolidate and prepare the notes Manually close out revenue/expense

► Quality Difficult to analyze data across funds (i.e., cash for a single

entity)

Solution: Hyperion

► Web based application Accessible by users in multiple locations

► State Owned and Operated SAO owns both the results and the system Minimal to no IT support required

► Packaged Application Out-of-the-box financial intelligence – minimal ongoing

consulting► Drill-back capability

Allows for drill-back to source system data Microsoft Office Add-In (SmartView) Allows users to retrieve data from and submit data to Excel

Solution:Hyperion Financial Management (HFM)

Benefits of HFM

► Reduce cycle time Automate data load for agencies using statewide

accounting system (PeopleSoft) with the use of FDM Automate journal entries, where possible Ability to post journal entries across multiple agencies

Allocation of investment pool holdings Remove encumbrances in conversion from Budget Fund to

General Fund Lease and capital asset / accumulated depreciation entries

Data forms and Excel SmartView spreadsheet upload tools allow for input of additional data Trial balance for non-PeopleSoft users loaded via SmartView Supplemental data used for the NTFS (i.e., Capital Asset

changes and debt service to maturity details)

Benefits of HFM

► Improve Quality Standardized mapping for common G/L users and ability to

load data in a single upload file Reduced load time provides additional time to analyze data Data can be reviewed across organizations and fund types

from a single system Ability to more efficiently analyze year over year trends and

provide support for MD&A analysis► Flexibility

Easy to create and modify excel files to retrieve data from HFM using SmartView

No limit to the number of Excel SmartView files

Project Highlights

► Entire timeline took less than 6 months to complete Used a consulting firm to assist with application setup

► SmartView functionality made it easy to convert write-up files from prior system to Hyperion links

► Created rules in HFM thereby reducing the number of AJEs required

► Created supplemental data accounts to track dates received and applicability status of year-end forms

► Utilized an Excel JE template to upload journals to HFM (maximum of 5K lines long)

Reporting

► Examples of Reports in FASTR/SmartView Trial Balance BCR and CAFR Statements Journal Entry Report

► Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio report template will be created to support report production

Sample BCR (SmartView version)

Sample CAFR (SmartView version)
