The agency answers to this and related questions are expected to cover all expenditures including day to day costs such as system maintenance and licence fees.Across all agencies expenditure would have been in excess of $10m per annum more if the shared services model was not being introduced.
Estimates Committee Supplementary Information Question 42 was recently answered and had a much narrower focus in that it asked for the names and numbers of departments that did not comply with the directive by the Director General DPC as to the need for agencies to consider deferring any decision to upgrade or replace corporate service systems. Hence, the figures in the two sets of answers can not be directly compared.

The Office of the Auditor General was granted exemption from inclusion in the amalgamation of corporate support functions and hence manages its own finance, payroll and human resources systems, either in-house
(SmartStream FMIS) or as a managed service (Talent 2 HRMIS).
As the Talent2 Human Resource Management Information System is delivered as a service it does not attract any annual software licence renewal costs. The OAG pays a fortnightly processing cost to utilise this service.
