Matthaeus · Management control of the Congregation
Matthaeus brings together the financial information of the Congregation to understand the overall situation, recognize critical issues and guide decisions.
Start from the Generalate and automatically collect data from other entities, connecting the programs they already use. Each will be able to choose if and when to adopt Matthaeus.
From daily difficulty to a concrete response
Realizing the difficulties only at the end of the year leaves less room for action. Growing expenses or declining revenues can go unnoticed among details that are not very useful for decisions.
Microsoft Excel sheets or summaries with different criteria often arrive from abroad. Understanding and comparing the numbers requires time, clarification and further processing.
With Matthaeus you follow the management throughout the year. Information organized according to common criteria, quickly consulted reports and graphs help to identify deviations and promptly evaluate countermeasures.

Understand and act
Budgets, deadlines and updated data help to identify critical issues, understand their consequences and intervene promptly. The detail of the individual items supports an overall reading useful for decisions.
Getting started
Start with the essential information and organize the collection according to the needs of the Congregation.
With Matthaeus the totals can flow into the consolidated aggregates of the Provinces and Congregations: a first great advantage for knowing the overall situation.
Simply sending the totals, as often happens today, is not enough to obtain consolidated homogeneous aggregates. If entries and criteria are different, the numbers received require additional work to compare and aggregate.
It is the time to review the items used and agree on coherent classification criteria between the different realities.
A well-structured chart of accounts is essential for bookkeeping and allows you to give a common meaning to the totals, making comparisons and consolidations more readable.
Define the information to be entered, who takes care of it and by what deadlines.
You can enter them centrally, entrust their insertion to authorized bursars or acquire them from local programs through a configured connection.
Extend the activities entrusted to users based on the skills acquired and organizational needs.
Consistent totals, legible consolidated accounts, a more solid accounting basis.
You can obtain consolidated accounts by keeping the records centralized, without immediately entrusting the accounting to individual provincial or community treasurers.
Decentralization can however remain an objective to be achieved over time. Training and i Multilingual, clear and effective video tutorials, accompany the bursars in learning. With experience you can also entrust them with accounting entries, activating the expected functions and permissions.
