Cloud Productivity & Finance Virtual Summit for Councils, 29 June 2021

This information-packed Virtual Summit provides insights into how Microsoft 365 cloud tools used to their full potential can help councils serve their communities with greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Rialtas Business Solutions discuss the principles that underpin the Accounting Solution requirements for Town and Parish Councils, demystify accounting terminology, and explain the differences that exist between Small and Large council accounting, before going on to demonstrate their latest functionality that integrates the Rialtas solution with Microsoft 365.
The event is concluded with some practical case studies showing how apps can transform the way councils operate. The audience takes inspiration from Steve McNay, Manager of NALC “star council”, Woughton Community Council, and innovative Deputy Clerk at Stamford Town Council, Sarah Dorson, who both share their best-practices before questions and answers with the full panel of presenters.
