UPDATE: Financial Services website - FIS Reporting page
This message is sent on behalf of Lara Pereira, Controller, Financial Services, and Guillaume Trottier, Director, Shared Platform and Development Services, IT Services
Dear Colleagues,
As you may be aware, the long-term vision of our IT Services involves leveraging the use of Power BI, a powerful data visualization tool. Steering towards this new tool means we will eventually reduce our use of, and reliance on, Crystal Reports. To facilitate this evolution while ensuring that all Finance Users can run reports found on the FIS Reporting page, we are gradually moving away from Crystal Reports and transitioning to Web reports exclusively. Please note however that once a Web report is run, a user with a Crystal Report’s license may export the report to Crystal Reports if desired.
For further information about ۲ݮƵ’s Business Intelligence (“BI”) strategy, please visit
In addition to a changes to report formats, we are also taking the opportunity to consolidate multiple reports into one report.
The first three consolidated reports we have developed are:
- Multi Period Fund Report
- Multi Period Grant Report
- Fund Listing and Details by Fund or Org Code Report

Thanking you for your continued collaboration.
