End of Year Reports Launch January 1, 2023
|
YEAR END REPORTING will be launched January 1, 2023 for 2022 statistical data.
The General Council on Finance and Administration in Nashville has discontinued EZRA in favor of a new platform, ACStats. A training video will be forthcoming on how to access and use. It will be very similar to all other conference reporting. The questions (we will be using Tables 1, 2 and 3 fully this year) are the same.
Due to the change in look however, we will extend the deadline for final reports to be due to February 15, 2023. Look for more information soon.
