Why this matters now

The compliance calendar doesn't wait for a system upgrade

By the time you're reading this, your next quarterly submission is already on the calendar and your annual ACFR isn't far behind it. The reporting requirements keep moving too.

01

Templates change most years

Reports formerly labelled "AP" are now "RP," new income and expense lines (Higher Everyday Living fees, RAD retention reduction) landed in July 2026, and Support at Home is introducing new classifications.

02

Financial and operational reporting are one conversation

ACFR and QFR numbers are only as good as the occupancy, resident mix and labour data feeding them, all of which is imported straight from Epicor Kinetic into FP&A.

03

Spreadsheets don't scale across facilities

Multi-facility operators need consolidated, drillable reporting they can hand to the board, not a reconciliation exercise every quarter.

The solution

One content pack, purpose-built for aged care operators

LightArc's FP&A Aged Care Content Pack is a pre-configured layer inside Epicor FP&A, fed directly by data imported from Epicor Kinetic, covering budgeting, forecasting, labour costing and compliance reporting together, not as separate projects.

Fed directly by Epicor Kinetic

GL data, account segments and actuals import automatically from Kinetic into FP&A. No parallel data entry, no reconciliation spreadsheets.

Driver-based, not spreadsheet-based

Occupancy, resident mix (AN-ACC class level), rostering and funding rates, imported from Kinetic, drive the FP&A model, so a shift in resident mix flows straight through to revenue and cost.

Compliance built in, not bolted on

ACFR and QFR structures ship pre-mapped, with a subscription model that keeps the pack current as funding and reporting rules change.

Board-ready, straight to Excel

Dynamic Excel rendering keeps formatting and drill-down intact, so board packs refresh live instead of shipping as static exports.

Live in the platform, not a mock-up

A preview of the reporting building blocks inside the aged care content pack, built in Epicor FP&A from data imported out of Epicor Kinetic. We'll walk through each of these live at the deep-dive webinar.

BAQ Extract

Occupied Bed Days

Occupancy data extracted from Epicor Kinetic via Business Activity Query (BAQ) and imported into FP&A, broken down by site and care type.

BAQ Extract

Resident Mix for Budget Planning

Current resident mix by site to AN-ACC class level, permanent and respite, imported from Kinetic into the FP&A budget model so it reflects real shifts in revenue and cost.

Demo Environment

Foundational FP&A Components

The core building blocks of the FP&A environment, including the dynamic Excel rendering of the report output your team works with daily.

FP&A Capability

External Data Integration

Bringing external data sources into FP&A alongside your imported Kinetic data, for the full picture.

Operational Reporting

Epicor Kinetic covers day-to-day operational reporting too

FP&A handles financial reporting and budgeting. These operational tools run directly inside Epicor Kinetic, for the day-to-day reporting your teams already use.

Business Activity Queries (BAQ)

Real time, sort, filter, group and drill down. Build queries in the BAQ Designer, or convert straight from SQL.

Dashboards

Custom searches, updatable dashboards, exception highlighting, graphs and charts, built using App Studio.

Data Discovery Views (EDD)

Real time discovery chart views and cards, with transaction-level detail built using the Data Discovery Designer.

What's coming

Where the platform is headed

Two things aged care operators keep asking us about: Prism, and what's next for the content pack.

Coming to ANZ

Epicor Prism

Already live in other Epicor regions, Prism is confirmed for ANZ. Aged care content packs for Prism haven't been scoped yet, we'll share timing as licensing and provisioning details firm up.

In development

ACFR rebuilt on the FinReporting data class

A structural rework to keep ACFR reporting aligned as the underlying data model evolves.

In development

Labour hours from external payroll, plus Care Minutes reporting

Estimated and Published Care Minutes reporting, with labour hours sourced directly from external payroll systems.

In development

New BAQ extracts

Resident mix, occupied bed days and RAD deposits/payments, joining the existing BAQ extract library.
