This webinar will explore:
- The current state of mSCOA implementation as a Business Reform, have all municipalities institutionalised the reform?
- For a long time, many municipalities conceptualised the Business Reform as as a Finance Reform and through that it was left to CFOs and their Finance Teams for implementation. It would be great to understand the current status, whether it has been accepted as an organization-wide Reform.
- One of the objectives of the Reform was seamless integration of various systems, as it became evident that no single system can accommodate the change, have both the system vendors and municipalities achieved that aim?
- The backbone of the mSCOA Business Reform is ICT infrastructure (hardware, software, connectivity, etc.), what are the current ICT infrastructure challenges that are still impeding successful mSCOA Implementation?
- Are governance structures in municipalities and Provincial Treasuries set up and functional to support the implementation of the mSCOA Reform?
- For any transition or change, Change Management can be a factor to success or failure, have municipalities embarked on Change Management Process to institutionalise the reform?
- Is it safe to say, apart from being a Business Reform, mSCOA is a major innovative solution in running the business of municipalities in the new dispensation of Local Government in South Africa?
