OA / OIT – IT GL Expenditures and Spending Categories Background • On January 11, 2011, the Governor’s Office published Administrative Circular 11-01, “Transitioning Information Technology Procurements and Expenditures to Restructured Categories and Accounting Codes” • Current Commonwealth IT accounting codes and definitions are outdated and difficult to use. • Accurate IT spend data is very difficult to extract and use for IT planning and reporting because of these outdated definitions. • Restructuring IT expenditure codes and definitions is critical to appropriately budget for future IT initiatives, particularly given the current fiscal climate facing the Commonwealth.

  25. IT Expenditures and Spending Categories Approach • In order to implement this new coding strategy beginning with FY 11/12, several tasks must be accomplished:

  26. IT Expenditures and Spending Categories Next Steps: Agency Roles and Responsibilities for Transitions * Note – Agencies will not be required to use the new commitment items for the 2011-12 SEM Rebudget submission; agencies can use commitment items from the initial budget submission and input SAP adjustments after the Rebudget is retracted to move budget items to the new commitment items.
