The document discusses Indonesia's Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) project called SPAN. The goals of the SPAN project are to modernize Indonesia's financial management systems by creating an integrated treasury management system and centralized database. It will connect the Ministry of Finance, treasury offices, spending agencies, and banks online. Critical issues include clearly defining roles and responsibilities for the many stakeholders and continuing efforts to develop staff skills and strengthen institutions.
2. • Concept of an Integrated Financial Management
Information System (IFMIS)
• Public Financial Management (PFM)
• IFMIS in context of PFM
• IFMIS architecture
• IFMIS costs, benefits and risks
• IFMIS – The Indonesian Government Experience –
SPAN (Sistem Perbendaharaan dan Anggaran Negara)
• Problems and Issues
3. • An IFMIS is a tool to support Public Financial Management
• An IFMIS is a computer software (ICT) application
– Off the shelf package or
– Custom developed
• Provides core public financial management functions, e.g.
– Budget
– Accounting
• Key feature - Integration between modules
Generally, the term “IFMIS” refers to the use of information and
communications technology in financial operations to support
management and budget decisions, fiduciary responsibilities, and the
preparation of financial reports and statements.
4. In the government realm, IFMIS refers more
specifically to the computerization of public
financial management (PFM) processes, from
budget preparation and execution to accounting
and reporting, with the help of an integrated
system for financial management of line
ministries, spending agencies and other public
sector operations.
8. Goals Criteria

11. How IFMIS can contribute to PFM goals
Goal Benefit IFMIS How realised
Fiscal
management
1. Enhanced ability to manage
cash, debt and liabilities
2. Better management of fiscal
risk
1. Up to date and predictive disaggregated
information on monitory flows and balances
2. Information on current and predicted
contingent liabilities
Resource
allocation
1. Historic information on
expenditures & impact
2. More realistic budget
modelling process - impact
decision alternatives can be
assessed
1. Up to date information on expenditures
analysed as required so as to link to
outcomes
2. Budget prepared using a tool that realistically
models relationships, is based on reliable
information on starting points, and enables
alternative scenarios to be modelled
Value for
money
1. Reduced financial transaction
cost
2. Management decisions made
more efficiently
3. Comparison of costs
between units/activities and
performance targets leading
to greater efficiency
1. Provision to managers of up to date financial
information enables them to use resources
more efficiently
2. Disaggregated information linked to
performance targets enables improved
performance measurement and comparison
between units/activities
12. The IFMIS balance
Costs and risks
• Financial cost – US$12 m
• Time and effort – 5 – 9 years
• Risk –
- implementation failure
- inadequate functionality
- lack of sustainability
Benefits
• Must outweigh costs/risks
13. • Legal framework
• Business/functional processes
• Organizational arrangements
• Budget classification structures
• Chart of accounts
• Change Management
• Systems requirements/specifications
• Systems development
• Procurement/tender of software and hardware
• Configuration of software and hardware
• Data conversion/migration
• Testing and training
• Corruption

15. • the roles and responsibilities of the treasury, ministry of
finance and other agencies involved in controlling and
managing public finances,
• provisions on the receipt and custody of government funds,
the annual process, submission and approval of estimates
and procedures for release of funds,
• the basis of accounting and the form and procedures for
presentation of annual accounts, and
• provisions on asset management, borrowing and investment.

19. • IFMIS could potentially embrace whole of architecture
• Wonderful vision of a totally integrated system
• BUT for most countries
– Would be unacceptably high risk and cost, take a
long time to implement
• Best to focus initially on core PFM areas
– Only add other modules if essential
– Acquire a system that can be extended to other
modules
– Keep it simple
• Essential to develop clear vision of IFMIS at an early stage
20. • Centralized Architecture: The Application
software runs on a central server and
Treasury offices connect to this server in an
online mode to process their transactions
• Distributed Architecture: Copies of the
software run on multiple servers across the
network. Work stations at a site connect to
the local/ designated server to process
transactions
21. Treasury Systems- Centralized Architecture- All Transaction
processing carried out at the Center. Remote offices are
linked to center via a direct communication link or via a web

23. • Integration is fundamental to concept of an
IFMIS – key of successful
• IFMIS potentially comprises many
functions/modules
– All may be fully integrated, or
– Some may be integrated and others interfaced
• Need to make choice when specifying system
requirements
24. • Standard data classification for recording
financial events;
• Internal controls over data entry, transaction
processing, and reporting; and
• Common processes for similar transactions and
a system design that eliminates unnecessary
duplication of data entry.
25. • Data:
– Data entered once, used many times
– Common data model, data naming, data dictionary
• Software application
– Shared business rules
– Sharing of code
– Derived values in one module used by other modules
• Presentation
– All modules same look and feel, common navigation rules, screen
headers and footers
• Operation
– Common security module
– Single authentication point for all modules
– Consistent external interface, e.g. with spreadsheets, XML
26. • Provide timely, accurate, and consistent data for management and
budget decision-making;
• Support government-wide as well as agency-level policy decisions;
• Integrate budget and budget execution data, allowing greater
financial control and reducing opportunities for discretion in the use
of public funds;
• Provide information for budget planning, analysis and government-
wide reporting;
• Facilitate financial statement preparation; and
• Provide a complete audit trail to facilitate audits.
27. • Core modules must be integrated
• Integration of other modules a matter of
balance
• If separate systems
– Ensure interfaces & ability to exchange data
– Common coding and classification structure
essential
28. Basically, corruption is moved at the following factors:
1. Competency/ Ability
2. Trusty
3. Accessibility
4. Internal Control
An Asumption when IFMIS is applied then Corruption declines

30. Latar Belakang
Pemerintah Indonesia dalam hal ini Departemen Keuangan
sedang melakukan modernisasi sistem informasi pengelolaan
keuangan negara melalui Program Reformasi Penganggaran
dan Perbendaharaan Negara (RPPN).
Sebagai bentuk pelaksanaan Program RPPN, dilakukan
Penyempurnaan Sistem Perbendaharaan dan Anggaran Negara
(SPAN) atau biasa dikenal “SPAN Project” dibawah payung
Government Financial Management SPAN Project dibawah
payung Government Financial Management and Revenue
Administration Project (GFMRAP)
31. SPAN Project
Sebagai upaya untuk menciptakan “a Modern
and Integrated Financial Management
Information System (IFMIS)” di Indonesia
SPAN Project bertujuan untuk mengatasi “the
outdated and fragmented Existing IT Systems”
32. Tujuan SPAN Project

33. Gambaran SPAN Project
SPAN Project akan menghasilkan sistem pengelolaan
keuangan negara terintegrasi dan modern dengan
proses yang tersentralisasi yang akan menghubungkan
secara on-line/batch melalui teresterial, satelit, dial-
up, dan sistem jaringan lainnya antara: DJA, DJPBN, 30
Kanwil DJPBN 178 KPPN, dan kementerian/ lembaga
36. Tahapan Pengembangan SPAN
Project
Penyempurnaan Teknologi Informasi untuk
membangun “IFMIS” di Indonesia, secara garis
besar, SPAN Components dapat dibedakan
dalam dua kelompok besar, yaitu :
A. Supply & Installation of New Hardware
and Software (2009-2012)
B. Maintenance (2012 – 2017)
37. Critical Issue
Terdapat banyak stakeholder yg terlibat,
termasuk PUSINTEK di Setjen Depkeu, DJA,
DJPB, Satker K/L, perbankan dan institusi
lainnya
Perlu kejelasan tanggung jawab dan wewenang
masing-masing pihak yang terlibat
Usaha-usaha pembinaan SDM dan aspek
kelembagaan baik dilingkup Dep. Keuangan
maupun K/L perlu terus dilakukan
