Catholic Mission

Customer success story

Leading nonprofit organizations are investing in ERP technologies that make meeting audit requirements and donor reporting demands much easier and simplify finances across multiple legal entities and improve confidence for both donors and management.

Catholic Mission is the official mission organization of the Catholic Church in Australia. It provides funding and project support to benefit children, communities and future church leaders in 160 countries. Its previous financial systems hadn’t kept pace with the organization’s growth, nor the complexity of its activities.

It’s important as a public charity that our donors have confidence that our financials are sound and that, when asked to produce proof of an event, we can provide the right documentation. It’s also important for us internally to be confident of our own information so that when we make decisions they are sound.

^{Easier compliance, simplified finances, and higher donor confidence}

Since implementing Unit4 ERP, the mission has streamlined its audit process because transactions can now be quickly justified with all source documents, which are just a click away. The organization is now able to easily manage finances and reporting — including tax deductibility — for multiple legal entities.

And, due to a solid financial information backbone, Catholic Mission can now provide more confidence to donors and management that data and reports are trustworthy.

By saying that we have implemented Unit4ERP, and that we’ve got fully audited accounts, and all transactions are monitored and controlled, we can prove [to donors] that their money is going where it should go, and they can be confident it’s going to be well spent.
