Canberra accounting software rewarded for helping community

Senator Kate Lundy presents ACS award to Nerida Gill
Admin Bandit online accounting software continues to sweep the awards pool with its eighth major accolade in four years, receiving the ACS Canberra ICT Community Award at the awards ceremony on 16 September 2010.

“Our software is fast developing a reputation as the premier financial management tool for Australia’s grass roots community and non-profit groups,” said Admin Bandit Director, Nerida Gill.

“The ACS is the peak body for ICT professionals, so to have our peers recognise our commitment to supporting community life in this country is a terrific endorsement,” she continued.

Admin Bandit has produced the only accounting software tailored to the unique needs of organisations at the grass roots of the community sector. It solves the many problems faced by volunteer treasures by providing users with the exact tools for meeting their legal responsibilities, including BAS, audits and monthly committee reports.

Award presenter Senator Kate Lundy MP said, “I am thrilled to present this award to Admin Bandit Online because it is a fantastic financial management software that supports hard-working volunteers who are contributing to their community”.

The award is another feather in Admin Bandit’s cap for what is turning out to be an exceptional year. In the last 12-months, the company has continued to upgrade its web-based software application, secured an internationally-renowned investor, won the nation’s most prestigious ICT award and represented Australia at the Asia Pacific ICT awards. Meanwhile, Ms Gill was crowned the Women in Information and Communication’s woman of the year for her contribution and role as mentor in the ICT industry.

“These successes are a great boost for our morale and credibility,” Ms Gill said. “However, as a former volunteer treasurer, the biggest reward is giving community and non-profit organisations a tailor-made product to modernise their financial management. Ultimately, that results in an enriched community life for us all.”
