Scribe Lite is designed to simplify financial management for Clerks and Responsible Financial Officers (RFOs) with pre-configured Cost Centres and Cost Codes. These configurations align seamlessly with AGAR (Annual Governance and Accountability Return) lines, ensuring accurate and efficient reporting. By using Scribe Lite, you can enjoy streamlined processes, reduced administrative effort, and peace of mind knowing that your council's finances are compliant and well-organised.
Our pre-configured settings are tailored to meet the essential needs of local councils, allowing you to focus on more strategic tasks rather than getting bogged down in the details of financial coding. For councils with more complex requirements, we offer upgrade options that provide additional customisation capabilities.
