EPOS.NRW
EPOS.NRW is the short name of a data processing project in the state administration of North Rhine-Westphalia . The name EPOS.NRW is an acronym that stands for E ntroductIon of P rodukthaushalten for O utputorientierten S inflation - N ew R echnungs W esen.
history
After the municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia have already been obliged to keep double bookkeeping by the NKFG (new municipal financial management law) of November 16, 2004, the state has now also switched the accounting for all administrative areas as well as for the state companies to financial and asset accounting to convert a cost and performance accounting as well as a financial accounting.
goal of the project
With the EPOS.NRW project, the government of North Rhine-Westphalia is pursuing the following three main objectives:
- Realignment of the administrative control
- Contribution to budget consolidation
- Modernization of the budget and accounting system (conversion from cameralistic bookkeeping to double accounting )
Based on the recording of all resources tied up by the so-called business processes (they correspond to the administrative actions), the corresponding data is first recorded in the financial and asset accounting and then automatically forwarded to the cost and performance accounting. The cost and performance accounting provides information for profitability control by comparing the use of funds (resource consumption) with the administrative services (the so-called output). It is also the starting point for a product-oriented presentation in the budget. The aim of the reform project in North Rhine-Westphalia is a decentralized responsibility for results and budgets, which gives the authorities room for maneuver within the budget framework specified by parliament, whereby the performance targets must correlate with the budget targets. The on-site offices should decide how the allocated funds can be used economically for the fulfillment of tasks.
Timeframe
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2018. From this point on, all state authorities should use the EPOS.NRW program. A staggered rollout is planned to enable a smooth transition from the old to the new process .
Financial needs
In the budget of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the following expenditures are planned for EPOS.NRW in chapter 12 010 and 12 020 title group 83:
| year | Means in euros |
|---|---|
| 2003 | 1.5 million |
| 2004 | 10.7 million |
| 2005 | 9.3 million |
| 2006 | 8.9 million |
| 2007 | 11.5 million |
| 2008 | 14.4 million |
| 2009 | 20.1 million |
| 2010 | 28.1 million |
| 2011 | 14.9 million |
| 2012 | 16.1 million |
| 2013 | 22.0 million |
| 2014 | 21.2 million |
In addition, the North Rhine-Westphalian budget for 2008 contains a commitment authorization in the amount of 75 million euros for Chapter 12020, Title 81283, Title Group 83 . Section 9 of the Budget Act also ensures that the Ministry of Finance can increase this amount at any time (with the approval of the Budget and Finance Committee ).
The planned financial requirement is therefore at least 135 million euros. Concrete figures on the financial requirements of the overall project have not yet been published.
