Budgeting & Financial Planning

A connected municipal budgeting ecosystem — from internal budget preparation and accounting data to central-government submission and oversight.

From internal budget preparation and accounting data to central-government submission and oversight

Overview

Our budgeting experience begins with a delivered central platform: the Ministry of Local Government Budgeting Portal. It is the government-side layer where municipal budget and financial submissions are received using standardized structures, reviewed and validated, tracked through workflow and status, approved or returned as applicable, and monitored and reported centrally.

Building on that experience, we are extending the same platform into two complementary municipal-side solutions: an accounting integration middleware that connects municipalities and companies already running their own accounting systems to the portal, and a municipal budget preparation system that supports the internal process between municipal departments and the Financial Directorate before submission.

Together, the three layers describe one budgeting lifecycle. The central portal is already in use; the middleware and preparation system extend it for municipalities that need them.
