Amharc ar fhreagraThe management information framework (MIF) is being introduced in my Department.
The first part of the MIF involves the enhancement of financial management systems in Departments and offices. In this regard, my Department has installed a new financial system that went live on 1 January 2004. The new system will provide for more relevant, reliable and timely reporting. The remaining elements of the MIF, including the linkage of financial and non-financial reporting, will be progressed in the coming year.
