Financial Year Reminders!

Once you have completed your Year End don't forget to close your accounts as this will prevent any changes being made in error should you log into the wrong year!

Once your audit is complete should any changes need to be made you can simply reopen the year and make your amendments and then close again.

To close your accounts go to your Year End menu and click on 'Close Accounts'

Also make sure that you are reconciling your accounts monthly as this will ensure that at year end you are confident that all transactions have been keyed onto Scribe and year end will be a piece of cake!

Drum Roll Please......

We are excited to announce that we will shortly be launching our web based Cemetery software.

Scribe Cemetery has been built to provide a web based, long term solution to help you manage your Cemetery, burials and records securely in a single location.

Scribe Cemetery will integrate with Scribe Accounts or can be used as a stand alone package.

For our existing accounts customers we will be offering an 20% discount on the annual cost of Cemetery so if you would like to see Cemetery in action or have a chat about how this could help your Cemetery management please do get in touch.

AGAR Now Available In Welsh

Following feedback from some of our Welsh councils at Year End we are pleased to announce that we have added the option to run the Accounting Statements element of the AGAR in the Welsh format, with the added option of either English or Welsh language.

To select this option go to Account/Council Profile and select Wales under the Annual Return Format and then Save to update the changes.  When you next run the Annual Return under Year End it will appear in the Welsh format and here you can also select the language option.

Are you involved in a charity? Could you help them save money?

Many councils already work closely with various charities and voluntary organisations, and many councillors and clerks of local authorities are involved in charities – whether they are running a charity, sitting on the board of trustees or volunteering.

Charities in your area need help now more than ever. They are experiencing a severe lack of income whilst juggling an increasing demand from service users.

Our partner, BHIB, specialises in providing affordable insurance services for charities of all sizes - including community groups, voluntary organisations and hobby/interest groups.


Please email hello@bhibcharities.co.uk if you know of any charities who may need support with their insurances.
