Management Reporter Training - New Class Offered! 

 

This two-day class is ideal for the accountant who has had little formal training in Management Reporter, the new real-time financial reporting application from Microsoft.This class has sold out each of the past 6 months and will only be offered while there is enough interest to fill the classrooms. We limit the classroom to 6 students to guarantee a high quality hands-on class environment.

Discover the power and flexibility of new reporting trees to present financial results at the responsibility level (i.e. by accounting segment or dimension and combinations thereof). Use report output and distribution options including Report Viewer. Topics to be covered include:

  • Designing basic report building blocks in Report Designer with row definitions, column definitions, and reporting tree definitions.
  • Associating the building blocks in a variety of report definitions including trial balance reports, income statements, variance reports, balance sheets and consolidation reports.
