FOUNDATION For Windows Earns 'Top 5' Construction Accounting Software Rating from CPA Magazine, for 2nd Consecutive Year
Unique features and construction-specific functionality earn high marks for helping contractors increase productivity and profitability.

June 23, 2006. Cleveland - For Immediate Release : FOUNDATION® for Windows ®construction accounting system, a product of Foundation Software Inc., was chosen as one of the Top 5 Construction Accounting applications by CPA Magazine, for the second year in a row.

According to CPA Magazine, a widely-respected publication for accounting professionals, Foundation Software "improved an already powerful accounting application" with such unique features as the new, patent-pending CPA Audit/Review Module and a new Document Control Module.

The new CPA Audit Review Module, which is part of the F OUNDATION base system and free to all clients, was created to streamline the audit/review process between construction firms and their independent accounting firms. Using a separate audit/review console, the module generates such reports as A/P Materiality, A/R Materiality, General Ledger To Job Cost Tie Out, Cash Flow by Job, Aging by Job, General Ledger Materiality, Gain/Fade, Over/Under Billing, Work in Progress, Overhead Allocation, Actual Billing and other topics relevant to an auditor's review. The module, along with a step-by-step CPA Audit/Review Guide, is also available free of charge to any accounting firm whose clients use F OUNDATION for Windows.

CPA Magazine praised the release of yet another important F OUNDATION addition: the new Document Control module. Using the power and security of Microsoft ® SQL database, the Document Control module provides a centralized repository for such documents as RFIs, RFPs, transmittals, submittals, punch lists, field logs, and more, "enabling users to locate the desired information based on date, receipt, sender or topic."

In addition to these new modules, CPA Magazine applauded FOUNDATION for other valuable features, including "seamless transfer of data among modules and other widely used applications, which eases implementation and integration concerns," said reviewer Richard Buse, CPA. He also gave high marks to FOUNDATION 's user-defined default settings, which promote further efficiency and reduce data entry errors "and enable administrators to configure FOUNDATION functions to fit specific needs."
