Publisher note: The Specification required a finance solution that facilitates transaction reporting to at least four category levels below the chart of accounts. The SSRO has reviewed these requirements and considers that more agile and flexible reporting is needed. Managers increasingly require “self-service” reporting for closer spend monitoring. A strategic shift of the organisation, with the proposed widening of the SSRO’s remit under the Procurement Bill, means Referrals work could increase. Flexible budget management and reporting will support spend reviews, and aid quicker submission of funding requests to the MOD. To facilitate reporting at different levels, the SSRO needs to be able to add more detail, through structural/categories, when processing its transactions into its Finance ledger.
