Considered: Auditor-General Report 4: 2020-21 - Queensland Health's new finance and supply chain management system
COMMITTEE'S CONSIDERATION
In its Report No. 13, 57th Parliament - Annual Report 2020-21, tabled on 18 October 2021, the committee reported on its consideration of a number of Auditor-General's reports referred to it, including Auditor-General Report 4: 2020-21 - Queensland Health's new finance and supply chain management system. The committee did not resolve to hold further inquiries into these audit reports and made no recommendations to the Legislative Assembly.
Overview
Role of the Auditor-General
The role of the Auditor-General is to provide Parliament with independent assurance of public sector accountability and performance. This is achieved through reporting to Parliament on the results of its financial and performance audits.
About the Auditor-General Report
The purpose of the report is to provide the key facts relating to Queensland Health’s implementation of SAP S/4HANA. The Department of Health and all 16 hospital and health services use S/4HANA as their new business, finance, and logistics system. S/4HANA is managed and maintained by the department.
S/4HANA replaced the 22-year-old finance and materials management information system (FAMMIS) used by Queensland Health, which was an early generation SAP product. The project that developed and implemented S/4HANA, the Financial System Renewal (FSR) program, commenced in December 2016. S/4HANA went live on 1 August 2019.
The report made two recommendations. One is directed at future whole-of-Queensland Health information and communication technology projects and one is on the inventory management module. These will be important considerations when Queensland Health restarts the Hospital Based Corporate Information System (known as HBCIS) replacement project.
Referral to Committee
Standing Order 194B provides that the Committee of the Legislative Assembly shall as soon as practicable after a report of the Auditor-General is tabled in the Assembly refer that report to the relevant portfolio committee(s) for consideration.
