CIMS Financial System Applications
Application Control System™ (ACS) Module
ACS defines security, controlling your ability to determine access to sensitive data, and how it is used.
Financial Management System™ (FMS) Module
FMS is an interactive, double-entry, fund-based encumbrance accounting system. You determine the structure, format and elements of your account codes to meet local, state and federal requirements. Multiple years of detailed financial information an audit trails are available online for quick review and comparison between current and prior years. FMS is completely integrated with the Payroll, Human Resource, Warehouse, and Fixed Asset Systems, greatly reducing duplicate entry of data in each system.
Employee Management System™ (EMS) Module
EMS is a sophisticated payroll system and employee database, designed to handle one of the most critical, time-sensitive activities at your district. Detailed employee information is up-to-date and available online, and all payroll transactions are automatically posted to the General Ledger in FMS.
Human Resource Management System™ (HMS) Module
HMS enables you to establish a detailed inventory of all approved positions, assists in budget preparation, and matches applicants to vacant positions. Substitute tracking matches qualified substitutes to employee absences and interfaces the information to EMS for payroll processing. HMS tracks career paths and professional development, and automatically carries applicant information into EMS when applicants are hired.
Fixed Asset Inventory System™ (FAS) Module
FAS helps simplify your property control. You can define your own asset categories, track multiple fixed asset inventories, utilize various types of depreciation methods, and control asset transfers and retirements online. FAS is GASB compliant.
Warehouse Inventory System™ (WHS) Module
WHS efficiently monitors the flow of warehouse inventory and leverages volume discounts through centralized purchasing control. Stock items, requisitions and inventory statuses are viewed online.
State Level Reporting
More than ever, schools and districts must rely on their finance systems to report detailed aggregated and disaggregated data to their state agencies for mandated accountability and funding reporting. CIMS Finance tracks the data necessary for individual state reporting requirements. We work closely with state Departments of Education to monitor changes to funding requirements, helping to ensure your ability to deliver the data that your state demands in the appropriate format when needed.
