NEEDHAM, Mass., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — AccuFund, Inc., provider of financial reporting and accounting software for non-profit, municipal and government organizations, today announced the Elwha River Casino in Port Angeles, Washington, has achieved greater control, flexibility and security with managing and reporting its financials after implementing the AccuFund Accounting Suite.  Using AccuFund Access, a limited functionality user license, Elwha River Casino provides its department managers with online access to their own financial statements and reports, which has allowed the accounting department to reduce its staff levels and save time as a result of not having to print statements and place them in managers' mailboxes.

"We needed an accounting system that is powerful enough to take us to the next level and beyond," said Dyanne Spaulding, CFO for the Elwha River Casino. "AccuFund has that flexibility we were looking for right at our fingertips."

Elwha River Casino requires robust reporting for its profits and losses and to see what the operation is generating on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis.  When starting its search for an accounting solution, it did not need to look far, as the Lower Elwha Klallam Indian Tribe, which operates Elwha River Casino, has been using the AccuFund Accounting Suite successfully since 2004.

AccuFund provides Elwha River Casino with specific functionality for creating a financial statement that is tailored to a casino, easy to understand and contains the data they require on guest winnings and business trends.  With AccuFund, the Elwha River Casino can design its own reports and create the individual financial statements for each department, enabling department managers to determine their own cash flow and see their own financial trends.

Elwha River Casino has found the AccuFund Accounting Suite simple to use and easy to understand.  New users have been able to get up to speed on the system in as little as 20 minutes.

"The AccuFund Accounting Suite is so easy to use, I was able to come in and start using it with little to no training," said Spaulding.  "We've had no problems or frustration with AccuFund and have in fact become very good at using it."

In addition to being happy with the system's capabilities, Elwha River Casino was pleased to find that the AccuFund Accounting Suite more than met its budget.

"The AccuFund accounting software is well-priced in the market and can compete with other software packages of its kind," said Spaulding.  "The added value is the support we receive."
