This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A well-functioning financial management information system (FMIS) provides timely, reliable, and comprehensive reports that support implementation of the government's fiscal policies and fiscal rules, and the formulating, controlling, monitoring, and executing of the budget. The architecture of FMISs has undergone a transformation since these systems were first developed in the 1980s. Rather than attempting to cover all or most public financial management (PFM) functions, many FMISs now focus on a few core functions such as accounting and reporting, budget execution, and cash management. Yet a survey of 46 countries shows that many face severe challenges in transforming their FMIS into an effective tool of fiscal governance. These challenges relate to weaknesses in the system's core functions, its institutional coverage, the information technology platforms it uses, and the ease of sharing data with other IT systems. This How to Note discusses how to address these chal-lenges. Replacing an FMIS with an entirely new system may not be an optimal strategy. By utilizing the latest technology, a better approach may be to update or replace one or more core modules of the system: the so-called modular approach. Implementation of an effective FMIS, however, depends on two critical preconditions: strong political motivation and commitment, and the system's ability to meet ongoing and anticipated PFM needs.

Download or read book The Design of a Financial Management Database System written by Edward G. Leszynski and published by . This book was released on 1996-09-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research led to the design and development of a financial management database system for the Aeronautical Systems Center (AS C) environmental Management (EM) Systems Program Office (SPO), which has the responsibility of managing the environmental contracts for the Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) plants that are owned by the Air Force. This thesis investigated the various 'development strategies' and 'methodologies' described in the Management Information Systems literature in order to devise an end-user development strategy capable of meeting the EM SPO's requirements. In addition, the information requirements, conceptual design and prototyping, and procedures phases of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) are discussed in detail. Even though the objective of providing accurate and timely information to program managers was met, problems arose during the design and development phases as a result of changes in requirements. The author thinks that defining information requirements is the most important step in the development process because the ultimate effectiveness of the system depends on how accurately the information requirements are determined initially. Therefore, it is recommended that before a project of this magnitude is undertaken in the future, a firm baseline of system requirements be established early and be adhered to throughout the duration of the project.

This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Digital Solutions Guidelines for Public Financial Management (Guidelines) are intended to serve as a comprehensive reference material for the assessment, design, and improvement of digital initiatives in the public financial management (PFM) area. To support the digital transformation of PFM functions, the Guidelines are structured around three Pillars – Functional, IT Architectural, and Governance and Management. Each pillar comprises six principles, which are further broken down into one to four attributes to promote more efficient and transparent PFM operations while fostering innovation and managing digital risks. These Guidelines also allow a graduated approach to digital transformation of PFM through three levels of maturity for each Attribute – foundational, intermediate, and advanced – to help take into account country-specific contexts and capacities in digital transformation strategies.

Download or read book Designing Management Information Systems written by Hans van der Heijden and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2009 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management information systems (MIS) produce the information that managers use to make important strategic decisions. This book covers the essential managerial skills that are necessary to design these systems. In contrast to other books on management information systems, this book takes a decidedly managerial perspective. It focuses on how managers perceive and respond to information, and on their need to use this information to make important decisions. The book considers how systems can be designed to combat 'information overload' experienced by managers, using such techniques as data aggregation and data visualization. Chapters provide an in-depth and practical consideration of these topics, focusing on the use of information systesms for managerial decision making. Designing Management Information Systems covers the topics of key performance indicator monitoring, and of shortlisting and selecting alternatives from a range of options. These are managerial decisions for which MIS are particularly useful, and which managers face on a daily basis. This is the first book offering practical guidance on how systems should be designed to support these decisions. It is written for managers, those studying business, management, and IT, and those developing MIS on behalf of management.
