Privacy Impact Assessment #: FIN-PIA-2020-01
Public Body Name : Finance
Date of Approval: Monday, July 27, 2020

The Corporate Financial Systems (CFS) are operated and maintained by the Department of Finance. CFS includes a wide range of systems and applications that support the ongoing financial operations of the government. These systems and applications are crucial to the operation of the government as they allow for the ordering of goods and services, payment of vendors, receipt and processing of payments to the government, as well as, facilitate the production of the Public Accounts each year. The CFS are a tool by which the Department of Finance meets its obligation under the Financial Administration Act to be stewards of public funds.

The Department of Finance is looking to upgrade and modernize the applications, programs, systems, and infrastructure for the Government of Yukon's main financial system. The project has been undertaken in order to eliminate the current risk associated with obsolete and non-supported hardware and software. At present, there are a number of components within the corporate financial systems which present a significant risk to the on-going operation of the CFS critical systems. Hence, considering the presence of clear risk to ongoing financial operations, the Department of Finance has embarked on the project that focuses mainly on upgrading of the Infor FMS Masterpiece version 3.0 to 4.0.

Questica Budget System

Privacy Impact Assessment #: FIN-PIA-2019-01
Public Body Name : Finance
Date of Approval: Tuesday, October 29, 2019

This project delivers a corporate system to produce the Government of Yukon budget. The implementation of the budget system is intended to improve government budget processes. Currently, departments submit spreadsheets to the Management Board Secretariat for analysis and compilation. The Management Board Secretariat deals with approximately forty separate spreadsheets, some with twenty iterations for individual departments. Challenges include substantial time for manual verification of multiple data sources, long turnaround times for analysis, difficulty in running scenarios and reports, a lack of real-time feedback to departments and Management Board, and staff overtime to handle last-minute changes.

With budget data housed in a single system, we expect to eliminate administrative time-consuming tasks such as re-typing and reconciling different versions; thereby improving data accuracy and shifting available time to provide improved analysis and advice to Management Board and client departments. YG's Questica Budget System will implement operating module, salaries module, financial statements module, budget book module, capital module, and performance module. The system will help standardize processes, calculations, and reports, to improve consistency across departments and make it easier for finance staff to be trained and transition across departments. The role-based access and audit logs will help improve security and accountability for financial and personal information.
