Background: Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS) can improve public sector management by providing real-time financial information to managers in order to enhance their decision-making capabilities. The South African Public Service is currently busy with the implementation of an IFMIS. However, the implementation of such a project has proved to be a very demanding undertaking and has not been met with resounding success.Objectives: The research was conducted in order to identify the challenges and risks that are involved in the implementation of the IFMIS in South Africa. After identification of the challenges and risks, solutions or guidelines were developed that may make the implementation more successful.Method: The methodology that was used is that of a literature study where theories were explored and used to solve a research problem. Based on the theoretical research, solutions and guidelines were developed to solve challenges and risks experienced.Results: The results indicated that there are a number of challenges involved with the implementation of an IFMIS. A set of best practice guidelines was developed that may make the implementation more successful.Conclusion: The sheer size and complexity of an IFMIS poses significant challenges and a number of risks to the implementation process. There are, however, critical success factors or best practices that can be used for the project to succeed. It is recommended that these best practices be used by the South African Public Service.

The Ministryof Finance especially the directorate general of the treasury of North Sulawesi province, is confronted with modern treasury problems. The demands of economic development are increasingly advanced, demanding a transition from the application of past culture (manual) to the stage of digital (modern) technology. The work process in the treasury sector changes, seen from the need for financial management information systems to improve the competitive advantage of modern DGT organizations in the future in increasing transparency and accountability in managing the world treasury. The emergence of treasury and state budget (SPAN) applications and agency-level financial application systems (SAKTI) as a manifestation of the implementation of financial management information systems in the Directorate General of Treasury and work units. For state treasury management to be carried out by the treasury general directorate, it can be aligned with treasury management by other countries in the world.Keywords : Financial Management Information System, SPAN, and SAKTI
