REPORTING REFERENCE FORUM

• Budget, transact and report on all six (6) legislated mSCOA segments and directly on the core financial system and submit the required data strings directly from this system to the local government portal;
• Lock down the budget adopted by Council on the core municipal financial system before submitting the budget (ORGB) data string to the local government portal;
• Closed the core financial system at month-end as required in terms of the MFMA before submitting the monthly data string to the local government portal; and
• Regulated Schedules (A, B, C) must be generated directly from the core municipal financial systems.
