3. Page 3 History of Reporting ► Georgia produces 5 main financial reports annually  Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)  Budgetary Compliance Report (BCR)  Selected Summary Financial Information (Treasury Operations)  Single Audit Report (SAR*)  Section 1512 Reporting (produced quarterly) (ARRA*) For FY2010 & FY2011 reporting Hyperion was used for the CAFR, BCR and Treasury Operations. SAR and ARRA have not been migrated to Hyperion.

4. Page 4 History of Reporting ► 50 organizations are reported in the BCR ► Approximately 350 trial balances (comprised of ~130 organizations) are reported in the CAFR  ~ 45 of the organizations reported in the CAFR are on a common ledger system (PeopleSoft). ► PeopleSoft primarily maintains ledgers on a statutory (budget) basis and is converted to GAAP reporting is collected through year-end forms.  SAO utilizes the data on the year-end forms and other sources to post conversion entries in HFM.  Data is also gathered from CPA audited financial statements for some organizations included in the CAFR.

5. Page 5 Challenges with Legacy System ► Time CAFR and BCR were not consistently being issued by required 12/31 deadline ► Cost Create separate import files for each organization Manually map each line of T/B to the applicable reporting line Consolidation of various reporting levels could take hours and the system (Caseware) often crashed prior to completion. Manually enter information collected in year-end forms to consolidate and prepare the notes Manually close out revenue/expense ► Quality Difficult to analyze data across funds (i.e., cash for a single entity)

6. Page 6 Solution: Hyperion ► Web based application  Accessible by users in multiple locations ► State Owned and Operated  SAO owns both the results and the system  Minimal to no IT support required ► Packaged Application  Out-of-the-box financial intelligence – minimal ongoing consulting ► Drill-back capability  Allows for drill-back to source system data  Microsoft Office Add-In (SmartView)  Allows users to retrieve data from and submit data to Excel

8. Page 8 Benefits of HFM ► Reduce cycle time  Automate data load for agencies using statewide accounting system (PeopleSoft) with the use of FDM  Automate journal entries, where possible  Ability to post journal entries across multiple agencies Allocation of investment pool holdings Remove encumbrances in conversion from Budget Fund to General Fund Lease and capital asset / accumulated depreciation entries  Data forms and Excel SmartView spreadsheet upload tools allow for input of additional data Trial balance for non-PeopleSoft users loaded via SmartView Supplemental data used for the NTFS (i.e., Capital Asset changes and debt service to maturity details)

9. Page 9 Benefits of HFM ► Improve Quality  Standardized mapping for common G/L users and ability to load data in a single upload file  Reduced load time provides additional time to analyze data  Data can be reviewed across organizations and fund types from a single system  Ability to more efficiently analyze year over year trends and provide support for MD&A analysis ► Flexibility  Easy to create and modify excel files to retrieve data from HFM using SmartView  No limit to the number of Excel SmartView files

10. Page 10 Project Highlights ► Entire timeline took less than 6 months to complete  Used a consulting firm to assist with application setup ► SmartView functionality made it easy to convert write-up files from prior system to Hyperion links ► Created rules in HFM thereby reducing the number of AJEs required ► Created supplemental data accounts to track dates received and applicability status of year-end forms ► Utilized an Excel JE template to upload journals to HFM (maximum of 5K lines long)
