It was great seeing everyone at the WASBO Accounting Conference in Green Bay. Thank you to the organizers and presenters for their contributions!
The three key messages from the WISEdata Finance (WDF) and the Wisconsin School Finance Portal (WiSFiP) were:
- WDF and WiSFiP - LEA’s financial ledger (the local “books”) pushed to WDF must be consistent with WUFAR accounting and the DPI Chart of Accounts to avoid WISEdata Finance reporting quality issues
- WDF and WiSFiP - We recommend LEAs push financial data to WISEdata Finance at least monthly, suggested as a task after the monthly bank reconciliation
- Student Pilot - New Pupil Count report consists primarily of SIS data submitted through WISEdata
