Don’t get a surprise invoice in the mail from the IRS! Ensure that your insurance data is correct. This session will include tips, explanations, and troubleshooting on entries. This is a great session for those new to ACA reporting and also an excellent refresher to those with experience; you may learn something you did not know.

Thursday November 14, 2024 10:30am - 11:30am CST

South Pavilion 4/5

Business Practices to Streamline your External Audit is focused on how the benefits of Skyward allowed us to complete our external audit in just 2 weeks with one staff onsite for one day versus previously taking 2 months and a full staff of 6 onsite for 5 days. This was possible due to the capabilities within Skyward Business. Primary modules will be Accounts Payable, Purchasing, Cash Receipts, Journal Entries, and Bank Reconciliation.
