START WITH THE ACTUAL WORK

Why connect financial reporting?

A finance report should explain its period, source, and measure. Conflicting spreadsheets make leadership conversations about reconciling numbers instead of acting on them.

A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

Comparing campuses on the same basis

Two campuses report fee collection differently: one includes pending payments and the other counts only reconciled receipts.

The decision and its context

Agree the reporting period, collection definition, currency treatment and source status before comparing performance. Show the scope and exceptions beside the result, then assign follow-up to the campus finance owner.

What a complete outcome looks like

A reviewer should be able to trace a variance to the underlying transactions and explain why a pending payment is included or excluded.

APPROPRIATE CONTROL

Who can act on financial reporting?

Financial reports should reveal only the detail appropriate to their audience and retain the basis of published comparisons.

SEE IT IN YOUR CONTEXT

Different institutions. Specific responsibilities.

A practical introduction

Bring a representative workflow, one recurring exception, and the people who own the handoffs.

Plan your implementation

BEFORE THE CONVERSATION

Useful questions about financial reporting.

Are receipts the same as revenue?

No. Measures must follow the institution’s accounting basis and distinguish cash received, invoiced amounts, and recognized revenue.

What makes finance implementation successful?

Bring the approved account and fee structures, opening balances, authorizations, and representative exceptions. Reconcile the agreed sample with the finance team before rollout.
