Title: |
Audit Committee MBOS Sub Group
|
|
Purpose: |
To provide an update to the Audit Committee of the MBOS Sub Group’s first meeting |
1) The Committee is asked to note that the Committee’s MBOS Sub-Group has commenced its regular review of the Council’s Modernising Back Office Systems (MBOS) programme.
1.1 The Committee will recall that, at its meeting in September 2021, it approved the establishment of a Sub-Group to provide oversight of progress with the Modernising Back Office Systems (MBOS) programme, seeking assurance that the programme is performing to time, quality and budget.
1.2 The MBOS Programme was established by the County Council in 2019. Prompted by the expected expiry of support for the Council’s existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, SAP, the vision for MBOS is ‘to implement a suite of back-office systems that best meet the current and future needs of the Council and which provides optimal return on investment’.
Work of the Sub-Group
2.1 The Sub-Group met for the first time in February 2022 and a note of the meeting is attached at Appendix 1. The focus of the meeting was on the objectives of the programme and the way that it has been set up and is being managed, including governance, programme management and budget.
2.2 The Sub-Group will continue to meet regularly with representatives from the Programme, and future meetings are being scheduled in 2022 for May, August and November.
3.1 The Committee is asked to note that the Committee’s MBOS Sub-Group has commenced its regular review of the Council’s Modernising Back Office Systems (MBOS) programme.
