Komputer Akuntansi Untuk Perusahaan/Organisasi Non Profit Dengan Excel

Komputer akuntansi dapat mudah diterapkan dengan Excel, dalam hal ini untuk aktivitas perusahaan yang tidak terlalu kompleks seperti perusahaan non profit. Beberapa hari ini saya masih belum selesai membantu Pak Marwondo untuk menyelesaikan sistem akuntansi untuk sebuah organisasi keagamaan. Kebetulan beliau ingin menggunakan Excel sebagai sistemnya.
Hal utama yang perlu digarisbawahi dalam sistem akuntansi perusahaan non profit adalah mengenai laporan keuangannya. Biasanya untuk laporan laba rugi digantikan dengan Laporan Aktivitas, yang akan menghasilan surplus/defisit dari transaksi pendapatan dan biaya, jadi istilah laba rugi digantikan surplus/defisit.

Pada prinsipnya sistem akuntansi yang diterapkan di Excel adalah maksimalisasi fungsi/formula dan permainan link antar sheet. Hal ini cukup mengasyikkan, apalagi jika kita punya kemampuan makro excel dan VBA tentu sistem ini akan lebih baik dan menarik.
Formula atau fungsi yang digunakan pun cukup sederhana.
Berikut Formula / Fungsi yang saya terapkan:

1. SUM
2. VLOOKUP
3. SUMIF
4. IF

Tips Interpretasi Output SPSS

Salah satu kendala dalam pemakaian SPSS adalah masalah Interpretasi Output SPSS. Output SPSS secara umum dapat berupa text, tabel, maupun grafik dengan berbagai variasinya. Berikut tips untuk meng-interpretasikan output SPSS:

1. Pahami dulu teori-teori statistik yang berhubungan dengan output yang ingin dianalisis, misal, di dalam output SPSS mencantumkan nilai Pearson's Correlation, maka hendaknya kita harus tahu dulu apa itu korelasi itu, bagaimana dengan rumus Pearson, bagaimana perhitungannya, bagaimana prosedur analisisnya, maupun contoh-contoh kasusnya. Hal tersebut dapat anda temukan di buku-buku statistik.
2. Carilah referensi-referensi SPSS , baik dari buku-buku yang relevan, internet (misal dari blog ini :), bahkan orang lain misal rekan atau dosen anda. Hal tersebut biasanya akan membuat hasil analisis lebih terstruktur, ilmiah dan berbahasa yang lebih enak untuk dimengerti.

Semoga tips diatas dapat membantu.

Simulasi Monte Carlo dengan PopTools sebuah Free Add-In Excel

Simulasi monte carlo akan dapat dilakukan dengan lebih mudah dengan bantuan komputerisasi. Beberapa hari lalu Pak Darsono, rekan dosen statistik dari Poltek Bengkalis, Riau meminta bantuan untuk dicarikan software yang mendukung simulasi tersebut.
Beberapa program sebenarnya cukup representatif seperti Crystal Ball maupun @Risk, namun tentunya saja harus mengeluarkan biaya cukup mahal. Sepengetahuanku pemakai di jogja hanya Fakultas Teknik UGM yang memakai Crystal Ball. So harus cari alternatif yang lebih terjangkau, ketemu dah sebuah free add-in Excel.
Suatu keputusan tertentu umumnya berisiko, hasilnya bisa menyimpang dari yang direncanakan atau yang diharapkan. Untuk itu diperlukan suatu simulasi dengan membangkitkan suatu bilangan acak, kemudian dianalisis secara statistik. Informasi sebaran nilai akan memberikan perkiraan probabilitas dan ini sangat dibutuhkan dalam analisa risiko. Simulasi Monte Carlo pada dasarnya adalah "What If Analysis" yang dilakukan beberapa kali sehingga akan didapatkan banyak nilai yang selanjutnya dapat dicari nilai rata-rata, standar deviasi, minimum, maksimum, dan grafik distribusi frekuensinya.
Dengan menggunakan PopTools langkah simulasi ini akan jauh lebih mudah.
Berikut langkah-langkahnya:

1. Download PopTools dari situsnya
2. Instal PopTools
3. Aktifkan Excel Anda, jangan lupa security macro-nya dibuat medium dulu
4. Pastikan tambahan menu PopTools telah aktif sebelum anda menggunakannya, jika belum masuk ke folder Program Files/PopTools, aktifkan filenya
5. Untuk contoh-contoh penerapannya bisa anda lihat di menu Demonya (PopTools > Demo)

Wikipedia Definition of Quickbooks:
QuickBooks is an accounting software product developed by Intuit, Inc.

There are several different "flavors" of the software tailored to specific industries; however, the underlying program remains largely the same, the chief differences being industry customized pre-built reports, industry appropriate language (clients vs. customers, etc), and industry appropriate templates for invoices, P.O.'s, and estimates.

First launched in early 1992, QuickBooks quickly took hold as the market leader in small business accounting software. The software was popular amongst small business owners who had no formal accounting training. At the time, software packages were designed for use by accountants and cost $400 or more.

Today QuickBooks still has the largest market share of accounting products for small businesses in the United States. Small businesses use it to track expenses, prepare and send invoices, prepare financial statements, track inventory levels, and many other tasks. It is available in a range of versions, from those suitable to startup businesses up to larger businesses with up to 20 simultaneous users. It also comes in customized versions for different industries such as contracting, professional services, manufacturing, and wholesale. It is available as desktop software or a hosted online edition.

For most tasks, QuickBooks doesn't require its users to understand double-entry book-keeping or standard accounting procedures. Most transactions are recorded using on-line screens that closely resemble paper based forms such as invoices or checks. The system is readily adaptable to many different industries where there is no significant need for something industry specific.

Sage Software's Simply Accounting and Peachtree Accounting are competitors to QuickBooks. Microsoft's Small Business Accounting has also recently entered the market with limited success in its first year.

QuickBooks is also available as software as a service, which Intuit calls QuickBooks Online Edition. The user pays a monthly subscription fee rather than an upfront fee and accesses the software exclusively through secure logon via a web browser. QuickBooks Online requires an ActiveX control that operates only with the Windows operating system. Intuit hosts all of the user's data, and provides patches and regularly upgrades the software automatically.

On June 2007 Intuit announced that Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions would run on Linux servers, whereas previously it required a Windows server to run.

MYOB Indonesia

MYOB Accounting berbahasa Indonesia? Itulah yang banyak ditanyakan ke saya. Pertanyaan itu wajar semakin banyaknya orang di Indonesia memakai aplikasi ini. Memang sampai saat tulisan ini saya tulis MYOB belum (tidak?) mengeluarkan versi yang berbahasa Indonesia. Saat ini MYOB sudah sampai MYOB versi 17 dan yang Premier 11 tetapi belum ada tanda-tanda untuk berbahasa Indonesia, yang ada adalah MYOB versi Asia dengan pilihan regional International untuk Indonesia tetapi tetap berbahasa Inggris.

"All MYOB software is backed with comprehensive services and support to ensure you get maximum value for your business"

Tapi saya pikir ini juga tidak perlu toh kalo sudah biasa nggak akan ada masalah karena tampilan MYOB juga cukup sederhana.

2. Pilih tipe Build your own untuk membuat daftar akun berbahasa Indonesia
3. Buatlah daftar akun terlebih dahulu kemudian atur default-default program
4. Gunakan Peachtree versi 2003 atau diatasnya, karena versi sebelumnya beluam ada fasilitas credit memo secara khusus.

MYOB TIPS: Entering gift certificates in your MYOB product

It's easy to use your MYOB software to track the purchase and use of your company's gift certificates. Here's how you do it:

1. When a customer purchases a gift certificate, create an item invoice in the Sales window. In the Sales window, enter only the customer's name in the Customer field and the amount of the gift certificate in the Paid Today field. When you're finished making these two entries, click Record. A message will appear, warning you that the invoice has very little information. Click OK in the message to record the transaction.
   
   
   
2. When the gift certificate is redeemed, create an invoice to record the sale, just as you normally would record a sale.
   
3. Next, locate the transaction you entered in step 1 in either the Sales Register or the Settle Returns & Credits window (depending upon the version of the MYOB software you're using). Select the transaction and apply it to the invoice you created in step 2 when the customer redeemed the gift certificate. That's all there is to it!
