ACT public service—account payment arrears
(Question No 193)
Mr Coe asked the Minister for Disability and Housing, upon notice, on 2 April 2009:
With respect to payment of accounts by ACT Housing for the financial years (a) 2007-08 and (b) 2008-09 (up to 31 December 2008), (i) what proportion of accounts payable were not paid within 30 days, (ii) what proportion of accounts were not paid within 90 days, (iii) what were the major reasons why accounts were not paid on time, and (iv) what actions are you taking to increase the proportion of accounts paid on time.
Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
For the financial periods stated the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services was operating its own version of ORACLE which had not been configured to produce the requested information concerning the timeliness of accounts payments. In October 2008, the separate versions of ORACLE operated by individual agencies were replaced with a single ORACLE system.
Work is currently underway to enable production of the requested information and this information will be able to be produced for all agencies with accounts paid through Shared Services. This information will be available at the commencement of the 2009-10 financial year.
