Interoperability of financial management systems in local governments and opportunities for digital transformation
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Two digital transformation agendas have been implemented in parallel in Brazil, one for disseminating interoperable financial management systems and the other focused on services for citizens, called “digital government.” Although these agendas are interconnected, their joint impact is rarely discussed. This article addresses the adoption agenda for financial management systems in local governments and the potential implications for the digital government agenda. We analyzed the automation, interoperability, and integration of commercial software contracted by 150 municipalities based on the perception of accountants who use these systems. The results indicate a greater development of the core accounting module and less integration and interoperability with non-core modules of the government’s system. Based on a matrix of integration of financial management systems modules and interoperability with digital government systems, we analyzed different scenarios for the digital transformation of local governments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
