The Department's management information framework system, AGRESSO Financials, went live in September 2002 and has been fully rolled out to support the operational and reporting needs of the Department. The main focus in relation to performance indicators has been the reform of the estimates process and in particular tracking progress in relation to the indicators published in the Annual Output Statement. A system to automatically link this information with financial information from Agresso is in place to support regular monitoring and reporting of targets throughout the year. The Department has a fully defined costing framework in place, with the ability to capture both direct and indirect costs and, in particular, to support the full costing of activities and objectives at business and statement of strategy levels. In the context of management reports, the new financial management system has led to much improved reporting functionality in the context of timely and accurate reports with, in particular, on-line access to Divisional Managers to a suite of personalised flexible reports.
