A Management Information Framework system has been in use by my Department since 2004. The regular monitoring and scrutiny of expenditure within my Department has resulted in more effective and efficient use of resources under my control.

The management information system has been fully rolled out in my Department since 2004. Full functionality is provided by the system and this functionality is fully utilised within my Department. My Department places a strong focus on the outcomes caused by its actions. Performance indicators have been developed to monitor and where appropriate to improve performance. A Departmental costing framework has been established as an aid to managerial decision making and a range of relevant management reports are produced on a regular basis.
