The Financial Management Authority Details
The Financial Management Authority (FJS) is independent agency under the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs. BackgroundThe State Accounting Office took over the Government Payroll Office in 1998. An amendment to the Financial Reporting Act was passed to accommodate these changes. In 2002 Treasury was merged into the State Accounting Office. The merger resulted from a review of the State Treasurer's Office assignments. It was concluded that the two agencies should be merged in order to simplify documentation procedures, flow of paperwork, and reconciliation of accounts and statements. At the same time the name was changed from „State accounting office" to „Financial Management Authority ", as it was considered that the name „State accounting office" did not describe the new role sufficiently. Since then FJS has developed, broadened and extended services provided, in response to its customers growing demandsOverview of responsibilityService and development responsibility for the government financial-, account- and payroll systems (Oracle and other IT systems) which are centralized at FJS.
