BS&A General Ledger
BS&A General Ledger · Bath, Michigan, United States · founded 1987
What it is
BS&A General Ledger is a web-based, cloud-deployed module that serves as the foundation of BS&A’s Financial Management Suite. It acts as a central store for financial entries from other suite modules, with shared data intended to reduce duplicate entry and provide real-time updates. Designed exclusively for local government, the ledger supports GAAP fund accounting and governmental GASB reporting. Built-in GASB 34 reports allow adjustment entries to be recorded in a separate Adjustments fund or a GASB 34 Adjustments area. Statistical reports calculate major and minor funds, offer summary and detailed formats, and drill down to account balances. Budgeting is included, with spreadsheet imports, user-defined budget levels, projections, proposed reports, and what-if scenarios. It can use employee longevity, grade, raise, and benefit projection information from BS&A’s Human Resources module. Bank Reconciliation supports imported transactions, multiple accounts, pooled cash, and grouping transactions by deposit. The listed capabilities also include restricted fund tracking, grant management, budget-versus-actuals, and program tracking. Pricing is available on request. BS&A says it has provided municipal software since 1987 and serves over 2,100 local governments.
