MCR's Financial Risk & Strategy Tool
(FRST™) allows your financial analysts to focus on your company's future
instead of spending time maintaining cumbersome models. FRST™ has all
the functionality of other proprietary forecasting models, but provides that
functionality in Excel.

(debits and credits), utilizing a full set of balancing books, so interrelationships
between accounts and financial statements are captured
- Transparency—all of the calculations and logic are transparent and
straightforward because FRST™ is in Excel; there is no "black box"
- Increased flexibility—FRST™ is easy to use; it captures the
interrelationships between changes in financial statements without ever leaving
Microsoft® Excel
- Increased speed—FRST™ can be up and
running in days, not months; new users are up to speed very quickly; and management
can understand the logic and results
- Improved analysis for Strategic Planning—FRST™ allows for endless
scenarios, goal seeking and many other analyses that are useful for strategic
planning
Accuracy and Transparency FRST™
In this crazy world of credit crunches, Enron, Sarbanes Oxley and all the new
requirements, it is important to understand what is in corporate forecasts.
FRST™ allows you to understand your forecast, increasing confidence and
accuracy. FRST™ gives you the ability to "trace" all transactions
and accounts, so your forecast is no longer a "black box." FRST™
also calculates taxes and short term financing requirements automatically, which
reduces the chances of results being "out of sync" at any given time.

double entry accounting
