Double Entry Accounting Software for a Public Broadcaster

Our client, one of the world’s largest public broadcasters, is an Indian government-owned statutory body managing media houses, TV networks, and radio stations. With over 25,000 employees across 2,000+ offices, their mission is to deliver truthful, objective information on national and international matters of public interest.

The broadcaster needed to transition from a single-entry accounting system to a centralized, accrual-based double-entry system to meet global standards and automate payroll for 25,000+ employees across 2,000+ offices. The platform had to support budgeting, fund management, expense tracking, bill-by-bill payments, staff advances, sales bills, GST, TDS, and flexible reporting. The challenge was to create a robust, real-time system integrating HR and financial processes, ensuring accurate tax calculations, invoice generation, and data-driven decision-making while managing complex pay structures and statutory compliance.

Dotsquares developed a Java and .NET-based double-entry accounting software to modernize the broadcaster’s financial and HR processes. The centralized platform automated payroll, budgeting, fund management, expense booking, bill-by-bill payments, staff advances, and sales bills, including GST and TDS compliance. Designed for 25,000+ employees across 2,000+ offices, it handled diverse pay structures, maintaining records by profile, group, and category, and generated head-wise payroll reports. The system integrated HR and accounting, enabling real-time data updates and secure management of financial transactions.

A user-friendly interface allowed customization of reports, supporting data-driven decision-making. The platform’s robust architecture ensured scalability and compliance with Indian tax laws and statutory requirements. An Employee Portal provided staff access to payroll and HR data, while intelligent request routing optimized performance, minimizing response times. Our agile approach, led by a dedicated project manager, ensured alignment with the client’s needs, delivering a cost-effective solution that enhanced operational efficiency and financial accuracy.
