Phase IV - Implementation & Training
The implementation phase begins with an entrance conference. At the entrance conference, the implementation team will review and agree on the implementation plan as well as discuss any other important information.

Throughout the implementation process, the project manager issues official progress reports to those with a need to stay informed. Should the scope of the project change, an engagement letter amendment is prepared detailing agreed-to changes.

Module planning establishes policies for each module which include how long to retain detail, how to structure the master record IDs, which reports to print out each month to ensure a proper audit trail, and which steps need to be completed before closing each accounting module.

ICN members believe that the many important decisions made during module planning and implementation need to be documented. Detailed customized procedures manuals are developed that document the accounting system as it is implemented for you, and include step-by-step instructions for processing information through the system. These procedure manuals are enhanced with training exercises and are used to conduct module training.

An exit conference will be held to review the implemented accounting solution to insure that all the important steps were completed to your satisfaction.
