GREENLAND, N.H. — Town staff told the Greenland Board of Selectmen on Monday that training on a new MRI financial system is under way and that the accounts‑payable portion of the system is scheduled to go live on July 1.
The update was presented during the board's June 2 meeting at Greenland Town Hall. Staff said trainers have worked with local personnel in person and that two to three additional training sessions are expected in June before the transition.
The move aims to improve how the town records where funds come from and where they go, a change staff said will strengthen checks and balances. "July 1 will be the cutoff date to start," one staff member said during the meeting. Board members were told the go‑live date was set so reporting would begin at the start of a new fiscal quarter.
Staff described a phased approach: finish training this month, bring accounts‑payable online July 1, and then import recent accounting history into the new system. Officials said the plan calls for back‑loading fiscal 2024 data into the MRI system but not earlier years.
Board members asked about how much historical data would be migrated and when budget committee reports would reflect the new chart of accounts. Staff said the goal is to have cleaner, more traceable quarterly reports after the July transition and that the chart of accounts and reporting formats will be provided for review once the system is operating.
No formal vote was taken; the update was informational and staff described next steps to the board.
