Automatic Accounting Update

You can link Contributions totals directly to Logos Accounting. All Logos financial modules employ posting routines that are run after data entry has been completed and double-checked. (Posting updates data tables, creating permanent records that cannot be erased or modified; they can be voided if errors are discovered after posting.)

This provides a secure audit trail, ensuring that the two programs are in agreement on the funds received.
