Public Accounts Committee

2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office
Chapter 5 – Implementation of Financial Management Shared Services

4:00 pm

Ms Hilary Murphy-Fagan:

As it relates to HR and payroll, we have quite ambitious timelines for upgrading the existing systems, which will improve the quality of service to our customer base of 145,000 payees and 38,000 recipients of HR services.

As it relates to finance shared services, which is in a separate system of finance and accounting services, I believe we have quite an aggressive and ambitious timeline based on the work going on currently and I do not believe it would be prudent for us to fast-track it any more than we are doing. We are on a path of work that takes 13 months to complete and that will complete by the end of this year. That will allow us to start onboarding the Departments and allowing them to shut down their systems.
