Meeting the challenges facing the Finance team
Sector: Social Housing
In a sector where there is an increasing drive for efficiency and value for
money, and where accountability and transparency are vital, most Finance teams
spend more time than they would like wrestling with spreadsheets and reacting to
queries. There is precious little time left to contribute to issues of
performance management and overall direction.
LAKE provide solutions for all sizes of organisations in the social housing
sector. We combine sector expertise with market-leading financials and web based
purchasing to release you from the routine cycle of accounting and reporting to
take a much more active role in the management of overall organisation
performance.
Improved monitoring and financial control
LAKE solutions are based on SunSystems, a financial management system
renowned for its analytical power. Cost allocations and reports can be driven by
analysis dimensions such as property, income type, scheme, tenant, contract and
region, without the need to create a long, complex chart of accounts. And
point-and-click hierarchy management tools allow you to change and model the
organisational structure with complete freedom.
Financial and management reports at the click of a mouse
Automate the publication of reports. Produce reports in minutes rather than days or weeks for all interested stakeholders;
including committees, management, budget-holders, government, and regulatory
authorities.
Deliver cashable and non-cashable efficiency gains with Spend Control
The LAKE Proactis solution helps housing associations bring spend under
control. It provides managers with complete visibility of the cost pipeline and
validates every purchase request and commitment against budget at any level,
such as department, scheme or project. At the same time, transparent processes
and sophisticated approval-routing, guarantees improved governance within a
clear, structured, controlled spending policy.
Track movements in every fund, distinguishing between restricted and
unrestricted funds
The LAKE solution will allow you to account for any number of funds, track
incoming resources and show how each of those funds has been used, down to the
last penny.
Share information and improve workflow
The LAKE SunSystems solution includes proven interfaces to a wide range of
housing management systems to streamline the flow of information.
