CONCEPT
Provide departments with more functionality that they can control, including internal processes for control, maintenance teams, and regular audits.
WHAT PROBLEM DOES IT SOLVE:
- Lack of control for departments
- Alleviate resource issues
- Reduce time constraints
- Duplication of effort
- Productivity
- Faster Month-end Close/Year-end Close
- Reduce tickets
- Address vendor issues
FEATURES:
The process steps will vary depending on functionality being moved to departmental control.
A process to provide departments with more functionality that they can control:
- Step 1: Define department functionality to control (e.g., agency-level configuration)
- This should include departments, FI$Cal, and Control Agencies for input
- Step 2: Develop an internal process for control
- This should include a role for departments and an audit tracking log
- Step 3: Establish a team for internal maintenance
- This should include training and procedures, as well as testing roles and processes
- Step 4: Implement
- Step 5: Establish regular audit controls
- This should include quarterly audits for one year, and then annual audits
- Step 6: Evaluate audit findings
- This should include an action plan to approve, deny, or withdraw delegation
