Question No. 0023 "Software for economists"

More about the issue: Good afternoon! I work for a company that needs the help of an economist. There is an accountant who deals with postings and just keeps a regular Accounting. I recently graduated from high school with a degree in economics. I want to apply my knowledge in practice, for this I need computer program, which would be very useful for internal accounting enterprises! Tell me, please, which program you need to purchase! I will be very grateful! Thanks in advance!

P.S. Are there useful configurations for economists in 1C 8.0?

Answer:

Daria, good afternoon! To be honest, on this moment You need knowledge of Excel, and a fairly good knowledge of it, plus 1c on top of everything. I'll explain why. At the moment, you are just starting to work at the enterprise, there is a suspicion that you are not yet aware of all the features and needs of management personnel for information, that is, in what form and what information they will require from you, therefore, you are unlikely to have any specialized software now will help, only further complicate your understanding of the situation at the enterprise.
Regarding 1C, I can say that most likely you will need it, since an economist can often use 1C in order to generate one or another report based on their needs, which are often very different from accounting ones, so that your work does not depend on your mood , the employment of an accountant, I strongly advise you to study it. Briefly, here is our opinion. If I don’t understand something, please clarify, I will be very happy to help you!

Each specialist at some point begins to think about possible ways simplify your work. What can make it easier professional activity economist or accountant, most of which is the processing and analysis of numerical data?

In the age of technology, there are many computer programs that can cope with this task. Perhaps one of the most simple, versatile and convenient tools is the Microsoft Excel application, in which professionals can find different options to simplify their routine tasks.

Basically, this program is designed for users with a minimum level of training, although it also has "advanced" features that allow you to largely automate the processing of tabular data.

We propose to start our acquaintance with the functionality of the program not from the possibilities of different presentation of tables, which purely visually will already help to put things in order in the data, but from the most important part from the point of view of the work of an economist - carrying out calculations of various values ​​and their analysis.

Based on mathematics and program

Standard calculations and comparisons of numeric data in Excel can be done in two ways.

Firstly, using arithmetic operators, known to everyone from the school course:

Addition (+) / subtraction (-);

Multiplication (*) / division (/);

Exponentiation (^).

Secondly, using the functions provided by Excel developers in the program.

Knowing mathematics at just a basic level, you can already perform various economic calculations in Excel.

As an example, let's take the calculations that perhaps most economists face - costing and determination of the selling price of goods.

Suppose we have a series of data for calculations - naturally, each organization will have its own, so we will restrict ourselves to conditional ones (see Table 1).

Table 1

Based on the data in the table, we will calculate the cost and calculate the selling price using the usual mathematical formulas:

1) returnable waste = 100 x 0.05 = 5 BYN;

2) additional salary = 55 x 0.1 = 5.5 BYN;

3) deductions from salary = (55+5.5) x 0.35 = 21.2 BYN;

4) overhead costs = (55+5.5) x 0.15 = 9.1 BYN;

5) general running costs= (55+5.5) x 0.2 = 12.1 BYN;

6) total cost = 100+5+23+55+5.5+21.2+- 9.1+12.1= 230.9 BYN;

7) profit = 230.9 x 0.065 = 15 BYN;

8) wholesale price of goods = 230.9 + 15 = 245.9 BYN;

9) VAT = 245.9 x 0.2 = 49.2 BYN;

10) selling price of goods = 245.9 + 49.2 = 295.1 BYN.

Now let's see how easy it is to make similar calculations in Excel.

First, let's pay attention to some features of working with the program.

1. The formula can be entered directly into the cell in which the calculation is carried out, or by selecting the required cell, to the formula bar (see Table 2).

table 2

2. The function entry starts with the "=" sign.

3. Formulas can use both numbers and cell references containing numeric values, as well as their combinations. The convenience of using references in calculations lies in the automatic recalculation of formulas when changing values ​​in a cell.

4. After entering the formula, you must press "Enter" to calculate it.

Let's demonstrate how costing and selling price calculation look in Excel (see Table 3).

Table 3

Thus, in table. 3 we see the totals, as well as the formulas for calculating them, using both numbers and cell references.

Minimum formalism and formulas

In a similar way, using the usual arithmetic operators in Excel, you can perform absolutely any economic calculations. But what is the difference between the possibilities of calculations in the program and a conventional calculator?

One of the main differences is another calculation method mentioned earlier, namely the use of formulas that the developers carefully fixed in the program, thereby greatly simplifying the work of the Excel user.

The program presents a wide range of functions, divided into blocks of their application: from general (text, mathematical, logical) to special formulas (static, engineering, financial). See full function library you can go to the tab Formulas.

There are more than 400 of them in the program, but for effective work in the program, in fact, you do not need to remember even 10%. In addition, for each of the above formulas, the program has a help that can come to the rescue and remind you at the right time, incl. demonstrating with an example how to use the function.

Formulas are entered in the same way as for arithmetic calculations, however, the ability to select the required function from the library is added. It is only necessary to enter "=", and then select the formula of interest to us and fill in the data in it according to the structure.

To begin with, let's consider the simplest, but at the same time the most commonly used formulas for economic calculations and data analysis: SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN.

1. SUM function. To sum up the economic results, perhaps, this function is used most often. It can help you calculate both the sum of individual numbers and the sum of values ​​in one or more data ranges.

Record structure: SUM(cell/range 1; cell/range 2; ...).

Usage example: Let's go back to our costing example. So, when calculating the total cost, it was possible not to enter the sum of the set of terms, but to apply the SUM formula.

The function in this case would look like this: =SUM(C3:C10).

2. COUNT function. This formula counts the number of cells that contain a numeric value. You can count in one or more ranges, as well as in data arrays.

Record structure: COUNT (cell/range 1; cell/range 2; ...).

Usage example: suppose we have data on shipments per month in the context of customers with indicated value. To calculate the number of shipments made in a given period, the COUNT function can be used, where the column with the amounts of goods will be the analysis range.

3. AVERAGE function It is another example of help from Excel developers, replacing the combination of SUM and COUNT formulas to calculate the arithmetic mean of the arguments. For calculations, both individual numbers and ranges of values ​​can be used.

Record structure: AVERAGE(cell/range 1; cell/range 2; ...).

Usage example: Let's continue the analysis of shipments. For determining average cost we can apply this formula, where the range for calculation will be the cost of shipments of goods.

4. MIN / MAX functions. These formulas help you analyze your data by making it easy to find the minimum and maximum value from individual numbers or ranges of values.

Record structure: MIN (cell/range 1; cell/range 2; ...); MAX (cell/range 1; cell/range 2; ...).

Usage example: Let's assume, using our example, that we also want to analyze the range in which the cost of shipments changed during the month. Thus, to find the minimum value, we need the MIN formula, and for the maximum value, the MAX formula. In both functions, the data for analysis will be the amounts of shipments.

We have considered, so to speak, the fundamental principle of Excel, which is necessary for an economist or accountant, who often has to perform his functions, to use this program in his work. Even with these most simple, basic functions you can greatly facilitate your work with calculations and data analysis.

In the future, we will consider more complex, but at the same time very useful formulas for your work, as well as some other features of the program.

(basic version) is a free financial accounting program that can be used for various purposes. The program has sufficient functionality for the implementation of various models of accounting for financial and business transactions.

Free program accounting of finance can be used by both economists and other specialists of the financial and economic block in their work (not only for accounting finance, but also for maintaining management accounting, warehouse accounting, treasury management, contract management, financial analysis and for other purposes), as well as students or novice economists who do not yet have sufficient experience. A free financial accounting program paired with a basic training course will be a good methodological and practical guide for those who plan to master the formulation and implementation of a management accounting system in an enterprise.

ESYSI (in the basic version) can be useful not only for specialists in the field of economics, but also for ordinary users. In particular, the free finance accounting software can be used by individuals to track their personal finances. You can use pre-configured models and choose the one in which it is most convenient for you to keep track of personal finances.

Often consultants or economists ask the question: what are the options for free software for accounting for enterprise finances?

We have divided them into three groups:

• simple programs of unknown authors;
• office program Excel;
• automated ESYSI

If free programs of unknown authors may raise doubts about their sufficient functionality for management accounting, due to the fact that many people prefer to automate only a small area of ​​​​accounting (warehouse accounting, accounting Money or accounting for income and expenses), then the functionality of Excel does not, at first glance, cause any doubts. Yes, you can create any form of report in Excel spreadsheets, but Excel is flat tables, not a database. On the one hand, unlimited flexibility (do whatever you want), on the other hand, there are serious problems in the necessary restrictions and rules for entering information.

The ESYSI system has, on the one hand, flexibility in generating reports, on the other hand, a powerful mechanism that allows you to limit and create rules for entering transactions in accordance with the existing management accounting methodology. Try the free financial accounting software ESYSI.
