Simplicity

The software has been developed to promote ease of use. Even users with next to no computer experience will find navigation easy. With the simply written "How to Use Abcorp 2000" guide, minimum training (if any) is required.

Compliance Error Messages

Throughout the program, any information that has not been input completely is displayed on screen prior to processing. It may be a date if minimum notice has not been given or it may be a form that has not been signed by a Committee Member or Office Bearer.

Flexibility

With an input screen for variables in the Settings section, the program is adaptable for almost any set of circumstances. To start the program it is important to firstly obtain a set of the Organisation's Rules. By going through the easy to use prompts, all the relevant variables such as membership criteria, quorums, minimum number of Committee Members etc can be entered and stored.

Task Reminders

The software is date sensitive and will provide the following reminders:

• General Meeting timeframe

• Annual Filing Requirements

• Audit requirements before Annual Meetings

• Insurance renewals prior to expiration

Comprehensive Checklists

The program contains comprehensive checklists for its users such as an Act compliance checklist. This can be printed out at any time and given to Committee Members/Office Bearers/Representatives at the start of their term. There is also a comprehensive checklist for Accounts and Records that should be kept by the Organisation.

Informational Reports

The reporting function is flexible and can be imported into any Microsoft program such as Word, Excel or Works. This allows changes to be made to the standard reports where necessary. All reports can be e-mailed as required. For example, the Membership Register, current Membership list, Committee Register and Committee Register History could easily submited electronically.
