Title: |
Audit Committee MBOS Sub Group
|
|
Purpose: |
To provide an update to the Audit Committee of the MBOS Sub Group’s most recent meeting |
1) The Committee is asked to note that the Committee’s MBOS Sub-Group has regularly reviewed the Council’s Modernising Back Office Systems (MBOS) programme.
1.1 The Committee at its meeting in September 2021 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 again in May 2022 and a note of the meeting is attached at Appendix 1. The focus of the meeting was on the progress since the first Sub-Group meeting in February.
2.2 The report from the MBOS Programme was discussed and progress to plan and budget was noted to be on track as well as the key risks.
2.3 The Sub-Group will continue to meet regularly with representatives from the Programme, and future meetings are scheduled in 2022 for August and November.
3.1 The Committee is asked to note that the Committee’s MBOS Sub-Group has reviewed the Council’s Modernising Back Office Systems (MBOS) programme in May to its satisfaction.
