Illustrative workflow. The treasurer controls final submission.
The work behind every deadline
The report starts at the bank—not at the state form.
A cleared check is only the beginning. The treasurer still has to identify the payee, find the receipt, confirm the purpose, choose the reporting category, enter the required details, and make sure the final report agrees with the account.

Reconciled report
One controlled workflow
OpenBooks does the preparation. The treasurer keeps the final say.
Resolve what needs judgment
Match receipts and payees, confirm purpose and category, and surface missing information before the filing website is open.
Populate the state entry
The filing assistant prepares the supported fields and helps place them into the appropriate Hawaii transaction form.
Review and submit
Your authorized treasurer reviews the state screen and performs the final save, certification, or submission.
Prepared before entry
Put the complete transaction in front of the user.
OpenBooks combines the bank record, check number, receipt, payee history, reporting purpose, and category into one review. Missing or uncertain information is resolved before it becomes a state-system validation error.

Hawaii has announced plans for Excel or CSV transaction uploads in its replacement filing systems for the 2028 elections. OpenBooks keeps the underlying record ready for either workflow: browser-assisted entry now, structured export when the state supports it.
