CAPTAIN is a true fund accounting software system for human/social service organizations funded by multiple funding sources under grants and contracts that may not have consistent fiscal periods or years. Under this type structure cost allocation is a critical fiscal management issue. CAPTAIN automates allocation of expenses and is particularly strong in the area of budgetary and expense control.
It is a networked on-line system with no limitations on the number of users or their location. It can support multiple corporations and manages each program as a separate business entity with its own complete chart of accounts and financials.
All of the modules are fully integrated so that data once entered flows to where it is needed. Up to the minute budgets and expenses queries are available on line at any time. The system can process in multiple accounting periods and keeps historical data virtually open ended. Year end closings are simple and efficient and a prior year may be kept open for as long as necessary without having an impact on current period processing. All data is validated on line at data entry.
Valid data is rejected at input time to ensure database integrity. Because the system is networked and multi user, the security features are of the highest level with multi levels of access security in place. Users only have access to authorized applications and functionality within an application. Our server platform uses an operating system that carries a US Department of Defense high level security classification. The system is complete and mature with a highly satisfied installed customer base nationwide.
