Everything for digitally collecting, calculating and analyzing the Municipal Fund
LIAS PAUW

Why more than 95% of
Dutch municipalities use LIAS PAUW
Always up-to-date thanks to mutations
On average three times a year a circular appears from the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations about the changes in the municipal fund. With these circulars municipalities can determine the amount of the municipal fund, also in a multi-year perspective. The backgrounds of deviations from previous circulars and years are included.
Tailor-made analysis
Link a file with your own basic data (numbers of inhabitants, residential areas, social security recipients, pupils and so on) to the standard weights (amount per unit), analyses and benefit factors that have been entered by the administrators of PAUW. After that one can calculate (also in a multi-year perspective) and analyze.
To be used by everyone
With PAUW you are no longer dependent for the interpretation of a municipal fund circular on one employee with specific knowledge about this extensive subject. Also a colleague with less knowledge can make a good advice to the board and the municipal executive.
Share information faster
Organization and administrators can be informed about the financial effects faster because circulars are processed by PAUW administrators within a day after they appear. After a user creates a statement with basic data (numbers of inhabitants, living areas and so on), all calculations and analyses can be on your desk within an hour.
Less error prone
Analysis of differences is part of the application. This enables employees to look critically at the causes of changes in the benefit and therefore reduces the likelihood of errors.
Compare with other municipalities
You can compare the burden of your own budget with the clusters of the municipal fund. In addition, you can use the so-called net burden method to compare your budget with other municipalities.
Understanding the recalibration of the municipal fund
PAUW Analytics dashboard
With the upcoming reassessment of the municipal fund, you want to have a quick insight into what this means for your municipality. For that purpose we have developed the PAUW Analytics dashboard. This dashboard is made in Microsoft PowerBI and you can use it immediately. So you'll be able to see what the recalibration means for you.
Privacy and security are key
All (personal) data is in good hands
All data is safe and stored in one place. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Every officer can access it, provided they are authorized and have access to the Internet. We also have processing agreements with our partners and a privacy policy.
Sounding board groups
Together we decide how to make PAUW even better
In recent years, with the cooperation of our sounding board groups, various improvements in functionality have been added.
