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.
