Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

(1)   That Cabinet noted the expected benefits from the new finance software system.

 

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL:

 

(1)   That Council approve a capital budget allocation in 2023/24 of £200k for the initial work to develop and implement the new finance software system.

 

REASON FOR DECISIONS: A new finance system is expected to lead to more efficient processes and a better customer experience. A new finance system will incur up-front installation and development costs. These costs can be charged to capital but require a capital budget. Additions to the capital programme above £50k require approval by Full Council.
