Legal Accounts

The Cashier Accounting system is a comprehensive and integrated accounting solution that meets the needs of the legal office.  Properly implemented, ‘Cashier' meets the Law Society rules, Legal Aid Franchising Quality Assurance Standards (LAFQAS) and Lexel standards producing relevant reports  for these standards.

‘Cashier' is fully integrated to DPS's One Office Case Management solution to provide the ultimate practice management solution.  Clients, matters and other shared information is held in a single database and centrally used and updated.  Maintaining a single data source means a reduction in maintenance time and savings of costs.

 Full Integration

Integration between Cashier and DPS Case Management applications ensures that accounts information is updated simultaneously between the systems.  This delivers great control in that case work cannot be done on matters that are close to their credit or time limits.  Additionally ledger cards, cheque and billing requests are an integral part of case with no re keying into accounts.

 Reports

Reports that you would expect from a sophisticated accounting package, as well as the more common management reports required by the Law Society are incorporated in the system.

These can be run to analyse anything from Client Matter Balances to current Work in Progress, to Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet reports for the firm, either by branch or department; both quickly and easily and reports have parameters that can be set to modify even standard reports as they are run.

 Cheque Printing

Cashier can print cheques automatically, whether it is for clients or the firm, from any bank account.  The cheques can be customised to suit the requirements of the practice.

 Ledger Card

The client Ledger displays all the essential information relating to the clients matter.  Summarised at the top of the card are the office, bill, disbursements, client and deposit balances for both this matter and for all matters for the selected client.  A list of outstanding work in progress is available.  The user can also very easily run an interest calculation to establish outstanding interest due on client money held.

 Automatic Bank Reconciliation

As well as the normal ability to flag reconciled items to the bank statement, the bank reconciliation facilty enables batch payments and receipts to be analysed and cross-referenced, whilst displaying the changing reconciled balance.

 Time Recording

Cashier allows you to choose the way in which you record your time.  This can be done by entering the time directly onto the screen, or alternatively, by means of manual time sheets.  The option of capturing at source reduces the time spent on work being duplicated and increases the accuracy of the information being kept on the systems.  It allows users to potentially increase their billable work in progress.

Time recorded to any module is automatically posted to the accounts.  Each matter can be allocated any one of the 36 different rate tables by default but can be billed using multiple rate tables.
