Numerous Failed Audits

Pass Audits with Ease

Future Funding is Uncertain

Future Funding is Predictable

Inability to predict future grant funding, i.e. there is no monitoring of pending grants.	Grant tracking reports list pending grants with budgets prorated according to fiscal year previous award success rates.
There is no tracking of grant renewals.	Track sponsor renewal and reporting requirements.
Unable to create budgets combining grant and hard money.	Consolidated financial reports help analyze your entire budget.
There is no analysis of grant information by organizational unit, investigator, fiscal year, etc, or combining localized information in order to create a global budget.	Information can be analyzed by organizational unit, investigator, and user defined time periods. It can be used for tracking future funding locally or institution wide.

Loss of Research Personnel

Retain Research Personnel

Salary budgets were not properly managed and grants were overspent before completion.	Grant accounting reports include projections of personnel costs and spending analysis incorporating monthly burn rates.
There are no funds available to pay employees after a grant ends. There are no systems that monitor funding by employee in order to indentify alternative funds, adjust budgets, or apply for additional funding before it is to late.	Software modules combine active budgets and pending grants in order to monitor future salary coverage by individual employee. Reports identify employees with potential salary shortages in time to locate new funding.
There is no monitoring of personnel budgets by research teams or identifying the necessary funding portfolios to insure success.	Analyze personnel costs by organizational unit or for an investigator's research team.
Employees are lost due to VISA expirations, not maintaining proper compliance such as training and safety certifications, or not following institutional employment contract schedules.	Notification systems allow proper time for obtaining VISA extensions, renewing training certifications, and tracking appointment renewals.
