SAOSAOState Accounting OfficeHistory 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.

SAOSAOState Accounting OfficeHistory 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.

SAOSAOState Accounting OfficeChallenges 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)
