- Branch-Level Accounting: Customers like GK face a hurdle when trying to track branch-level accounting expenses with only integration of accounting at the head office level.
The aim of the accounting team is to ensure the Mifos users have the best in breed of portfolio management and financial management. Currently MFIs face a major gap in financial reporting while using Mifos because Mifos lacks a built-in accounting package and no well-defined method for integration. We want to address accounting integration, basic branch-level accounting, cash management, financial reporting, and more. We aim to provide both small and large MFIs with the financial management and accounting solutions they need. For smaller MFIs who don't have an existing accounting software, we want to provide a solution that provides adequate portfolio management and accounting without having to maintain two separate systems. For those large MFIs with existing accounting softwares - the ease and flexibility of fully integrating their portfolio and financial management. |
Mifos X now has a fully integrated accounting module including support for cash accounting, automated portfolio posting, configurable posting rules, advanced account mappings, and basic finanical reports. The current work is focused on adding support for accrual accounting in Mifos X.

The date and frequency of the accounting meetings will be posted here.
