SESSIONS & AGENDA

MIP’s HR module is a building block that adds not only added employee information like education and certification tracking but also adds significant payroll enhancements through Benefit and Leave Plans as well as the ability to script specific custom actions.  This course will introduce and review the primary functions of the HR module..

There’s a lot you can do with MIP’s HR.  This session will explore complex Benefit and Leave plans, mass update, multiple employee pay rates as well as enhanced EWS functionality.

If automating timesheets and allowing employees to have more access to their information is a priority for you, EWS may be the answer.  This session will review the timekeeping and reporting capabilities of EWS along with processing Benefit Enrollment through MIP.

Every year we see large sums paid to outside processing companies to print checks and produce tax reports.  Additionally, the manual work done to manipulate the data provided in order to post those transactions to MIP is time consuming and subject to balancing and other errors.  Learn how to use MIP Payroll to save time, money and more accurately record employee costs.

Now that you know the basics, we’ll dig deeper into the payroll module and how to make corrections, process off cycle checks, prepare tax filings and year-end reports and forms.

The HR module has its own, separate from accounting, report writer.  Learn how to generate, print and distribute HR reports.  We’ll also discuss querying features for formatting reports.

Which Electronic Timesheet solution is best for your organization?  We’ll compare and contrast both applications in this session.  We’ll discuss polling time clocks, timesheet approval workflows and using Micriox Timesheets in conjunction with the MIP Payroll – HR – EWS solution or using Microix Timesheets standalone.

If your organization needs to improve your recruiting, onboarding and employee training requirements then attend this session and learn how Visibility Software’s Cyber Recruiter attracts the most qualified applicants and improves communications between HR and hiring managers. Cyber Train manages all training requirements, course enrollments, and certifications ensuring all is up-to-date and easily accessible.  Learn how to take your MIP HR module to the next level!

Every organization has bills to pay.  In this session, we’ll review the primary AP functions of Vendor Maintenance, writing checks and running AP Reports.

There’s a lot more to Accounts Payable processing then just creating vendors and writing checks.  We will review correcting posted transactions, the proper way to void checks, 1099 processing and other processes beyond the basics.

AvidXchange is the largest business-to-business payment network in the US, servicing more than 5,000 customers and 400,000 suppliers nationwide.  The solution provides AP professionals with a faster, more reliable and secure way to process invoices and make payments.  AvidXchange enhances MIP’s AP module by helping increase organizational efficiencies, providing greater insight into the overall company cash flow.

Cost allocation is a necessary part of accepting federal grants.  We’ll discuss what the regulations say about cost allocation, including the new 10% de minimus options, understanding the difference between direct and indirect costing and resources for writing your own plan.

If life were simple you would have a single funding source to report to and every program and location would have discrete costs, easily identifiable.  But, life in a nonprofit isn’t that simple.  Many costs are shared among the various revenue sources, programs, departments and locations.  Allocations and Distributions provide automated tools to share those items equitably and most importantly, defensibly for your auditors.

Unlike the government, our agencies have to live within our means.  Budgets and debt ceilings can be arbitrarily raised.  The MIP Budget module provides the tools to get your budgets entered into MIP along with revisions, multiple versions and actual/budget reporting.  Come learn how to use these tools and ease the burden of staying on track.

This session will discuss methodologies behind creating budgets regardless of software application. Learn tips and tricks to making the budget process an easier endeavor.

Learn best practices for compiling a Policy & Procedure manual and what to include and/or add to conform with Uniform Guidance and other recent new standards.

This session will take attendees through the full Grants Management lifecycle from the new application & renewal processes to the end of the grant.  While MIP does a great job of financial accounting reporting of grants, eCivis helps simplify the entire grant progression.  This solution will replace the now defunct MIP Grant Management application.  

MIP Fund Accounting offers additional modules that do not necessarily warrant a full 90-minute breakout session.  In this session we’ll introduce attendees to these additional modules: Fixed Assets, EFT for AP, Forms Designer, AR Reporting & Billing, Advanced Security, Encumbrances, Scheduler and Bank Feed.  This is a great venue to determine if your organization might be missing any needed functionality that may make your job easier.  Bring your questions as you’ll get your answers.

Take your reporting and analysis to the next level with MIP Report Groups.  Report Groups provide a way to roll up and organize segment accounts.  Go another step further and learn how to easily map your GL, Program and Restriction segments to Form 990 where you will ultimately print out 990 Worksheets.  Enhance your knowledge and transparency of how your organization reports financial data to the IRS.

This session is for anyone using MIP Classic or Modern in the MIP Cloud, or anyone curious about the MIP Cloud Modern User Interface.  We’ll take a deep-dive into the most significant enhancements in the Modern UI, other general improvements, dashboards, the difference between the two Interfaces and what to expect from a performance standpoint.
