A.V. Powell & Associates LLC.

Demonstration software

FORCAST demonstration software is currently available upon request. FORCAST software allows you to produce actuarial reports to meet ASOP No. 3 conditions and project GAAP financials, amortize entry fees and estimate the obligation to provide future services in accordance with AICPA Audit Guide for Health Care Organizations Chapter 14 (fka SOP 90-8), and record resident demographics and movement data between regular updates to your actuarial study. FINAID demonstration software can be downloaded from the section below. The FINAID software allows you to evaluate the future financial needs of prospective residents.

In order for you to evaluate the capabilities and features of our software, the demonstration software is identical to the working versions except that the write-to-file capability has been disabled so that file changes cannot be saved.

We suggest that you contact an A.V. POWELL & ASSOCIATES consultant to guide you through FORCAST or FINAID before installing either software on your Windows® based PC. Current FORCAST users will not be able to install the FORCAST demo, but may obtain the latest release, by going to the Software update section below.
