Can you trust the numbers in MIP Cloud?
MIP Cloud is MIP's cloud-based, software-as-a-service fund accounting software for nonprofit organizations. Its own help pages give 4 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: A report total can come out lower for one person than for another, because MIP leaves out segments that person is restricted from, as its help pages say.
Is it broken, or just counted differently?
A number can look wrong because the business changed, or because of how MIP Cloud counts it. Below is what MIP Cloud keeps, where its help pages say the numbers can differ, and how to check them yourself.
What does MIP Cloud keep track of?

What can make MIP Cloud's numbers look wrong?
A report total can come out lower for one person than for another, because MIP leaves out segments that person is restricted from, as its help pages say.
In MIP Cloud's own words:
Report totals are automatically filtered to exclude restricted segment data.
Drilldown Reports, read 2026-11-12.Balances can look incomplete when the person viewing them lacks access to some accounts, since MIP hides those records from them, as its help pages explain.
In MIP Cloud's own words:
If you do not have access to one or more accounts, you will not see that record.
Account Balances, read 2026-11-12.Activity in the Account Balances view can look small because, as MIP's help pages say, it starts from one month back unless someone picks a different date.
In MIP Cloud's own words:
Document Date From: Defaults to one month prior to the current date.
Account Balances, read 2026-11-12.Entries can sit in MIP without being posted, because a session set to suspend cannot post until someone changes its status, as MIP's help pages explain.
In MIP Cloud's own words:
However, a session whose status is BS cannot be posted until its status is updated to BP.

How do I check MIP Cloud's numbers myself?

How does MIP Cloud work with Feder?
Connect MIP Cloud to Feder and it joins your Money apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in MIP Cloud.
When you connect MIP Cloud, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Where do these answers come from?
Everything this page says about MIP Cloud comes from MIP Cloud's own pages, quoted above with the date we read them. Last reviewed 2026-11-12. We read them again by 2027-11-12. If one changes, this page changes or comes down.
Know the day a number breaks, not the month after.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
