Financial Services 21 . Graph shows the average monthly number of accounts paid and the average number of days DCIS takes to process the account for each year, over the last 5 years. DCIS monitors the number of monthly account payment trends to enable effective management of staffing levels. The graph shows that while the monthly average number of accounts has increased by 7%, the turnaround time for account payment has remained at 5 days during 2003/04, contributing towards our cost effectiveness. The graph shows the % of accounts paid within 30 days of the invoice date. The increase in the number of accounts paid within 30 days is attributed to agencies efforts to comply with Governments procurement reforms. Audits No audits were conducted on this product during the year. Initiatives 2004/2005 Implementation of the on-line purchase requisitions system is carried forward from 2003/04.The cost to develop the system was too great for DCIS to carry alone. The current strategy is to acquire sponsors across government to share the cost. Introduction of on-line agency-to-agency payments through our online billing information payment system (OBIPS) has been carried forward from 2003/04. The system has been developed and trialled within DCIS. There have been some functionality problems with OBIPS, which has delayed implementation across agencies. These problems have been resolved and implementation of OBIPS will continue during 2004/05. To make the Travel Requisition and Payment System more accessible and user friendly for our customers, a web-based version will be made available to agencies in 2004/05. 30 35 40 45 19 99 /00 20 00 /01 20 01 /02 20 02 /03 20 03 /04 n o. o f p ai d ac co un ts (0 00 s) 0 2 4 6 8 da ys monthly avg paid accounts avg days in DCIS 0 20 40 60 80 100 Ju ly Se pt N ov Ja n M ar M ay % o f a cc ou nt s pa id < 3 0 da y s 2002/03 2003/04
