Surrey Wildlife Trust chooses Access Dimensions for accounting
Howard Lake | 5 September 2006 | News
The Surrey Wildlife Trust has selected Access Dimensions from Asyst Solutions for its accounting system. Devon and Kent Wildlife Trusts already use the software.
The new system is designed to address a number of needs at the Surrey Wildlife Trust. Changes to the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) had affected the way that the Trust needed to present its annual reports, the Trust needed to consolidate different divisions into one system, and it needed to analyse income and expenditure across particular funding streams and events, often spanning multiple financial periods.
Peter Lalor, head of finance for the Surrey Wildlife Trust, explained the Trust’s choice: “We needed more detailed reporting facilities than our previous system would allow, due mainly to the changing demands of charity law. Having spoken to other Trusts that use Access Dimensions, their positive feedback gave us the confidence to opt for this solution.”
Access Dimensions has been developed by UK software author Access Accounting and is based on a Microsoft SQL Server database.
