“The latest release of Sage MIP Fund Accounting includes several features, such as an easier-to-navigate interface and the Recurring and Reversing Entry Manager, that we told Sage Software would simplify our accounting processes,” said Rebecca Trevino, CPA, director of administration for The Railroad Commission (RRC) of Texas, an Austin, Texas-based regulatory organization. “We have been a Sage customer since 1996, because Sage MIP Fund Accounting is an outstanding fund accounting package. The software can handle any government structure that I have encountered.”
