Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS) is an information technology based system for budget management and accounting. It is made by the Federal Government of Nigeria to improve Public Expenditure Management processes, enhance greater accountability and transparency across Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

GIFMIS is designed to make use of modern technologies to help the Government of Nigeria plan and use its financial resources more efficiently and effectively.

It has to do with:

• Budget preparation and execution
• Treasury management and reporting
• General ledger and financial reporting
• Procurement, including Commitments, purchase orders, Maintenance of a central supplier register and Support for e-procurement
• Receipting, Accounts Receivable and Revenue Management
• Payments and Accounts Payable
• Inventory and Stock Control
• Fixed Asset Management
• Project accounting

GIFMIS implementation enables the Federal Government of Nigeria to process financial transactions faster and at a much lower cost. GIFMIS also improves the reliability of management information. This increases the speed at which decisions are taken and services delivered to the general public. It also reduce opportunities for corruption and ensure safety of public resources.

GIFMIS supports public resource management. It’s a targeted anti-corruption initiative, modernising fiscal processes, using better methods, techniques and information technology.

The GIFMIS is aimed at improving the acquisition, allocation, utilisation and conservation of public financial resources using automated and integrated, effective, efficient and economic information systems. The GIFMIS will aid strategic management of public financial resources for enhanced accountability, transparency, cost effective public service delivery, and economic growth and poverty reduction efforts.

The purpose of introducing GIFMIS is to assist the FGN in improving the management, performance and outcomes of Public Financial Management (PFM). The immediate purpose of this project is to enable an executable budget, i.e. a budget which can be implemented as planned by addressing the critical public financial management weaknesses including:

1. Failure to enact the budget before the start of the financial year
2. The budget is not based on realistic forecasts of cash availability
3. Lack of effective cash management – multiple bank accounts within Treasury and MDAs that make effective control impossible; when combined with the lack of cash forecasting this leads to inefficient and unplanned borrowing.
4. A lack of integration between different financial management functions and processes, e.g. budget is prepared in a way that makes it difficult to manage the budget execution through the chart of accounts.
