CAFRONLINE is a web application for local governments to prepare annual financial reports. It has all of the features of a word processor, but also allows you to access financial statements compiled by a database.

• View the trial balance detail behind any line item in the financial statements
• Post adjustments to manage the audit trial balance
• Link amounts in the text to the financial statements
• Collaborate - multiple users can work on the CAFR simultaneously
• View the entire CAFR as a single .pdf or Word document at any time

CAFRONLINE is easy to use and learn, because Thales Consulting compiles your financial statements as a service.

Contact us to join the growing list of governments using CAFRONLINE.

CAFRONLINE incorporates your existing year end processes, and is tailored to fit your needs.

The projects have two phases. In the first phase, we set up your database to replicate the prior year's CAFR. The database is then ready for the second phase, where we create the current year's CAFR.

• Work with all types of local governments
• Generate either an entire CAFR, an Annual Financial Report, or just the Management's Discussion & Analysis
• Create financial statements in our award winning standard format, or your own custom format

CAFRONLINE can fit your needs.

• A one-time implementation fee (beginning at $1,500 for small governments)
• An annual service fee (beginning at $1,500 for small governments)
• Additional fees for custom statement formatting, additional users, excessive help desk use, or multiple imports may apply
• For a custom quote, please contact us

CAFR writing is less expensive when you use a single software application.

• Multiple people can edit the document simultaneously
• There are no longer version control issues between multiple documents
• Edits & adjustments update in real time

Another efficiency gain from CAFRONLINE is its automated adjustments. If someone makes an adjustment in CAFRONLINE, there is no need to search the text & statements for the affected amounts that change. The statements and linked (CAFRlator) values update automatically.

CAFR writing is faster when it is centrally located & automated.

• View the detail behind any line item - current year or prior year
• Review & edit adjustments
• Link amounts (CAFRlators) in the text to the financial statements
• Provide reliable variance analysis, since accounts flow to the same place year after year

CAFRONLINE increases the transparency of your financial statements.

• Requires no installation
• Updates automatically
• Backs up daily
• Stores your data on secure servers

CAFRONLINE is also easy to use. Since Thales Consulting sets up the financial statements, you need only to review our work, post adjustments, and update the text using CAFRONLINE's editor.

We created a software solution so you can focus on writing your CAFR.

If you do not currently compile your financial reports, CAFRONLINE can be used as a stepping stone for creating the CAFR in house and monitoring GASB compliance. Here's how:

• How financial statements are rolled up
• How to create GASB 34 adjustments
• The general process for updating the CAFR's text

We also update CAFRONLINE for GASB compliance. We are currently planning for the 2011 implementation of the GASB Statement No 54.

CAFRONLINE is a form of CAFR education.
