Section 11860 Of Article 2. Development And Implementation Of Fiscal From California Government Code >> Division 3. >> Title 2. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 10. >> Article 2.

. (a) To serve the best interest of the state by optimizing the financial business management of the state, the Department of Finance, the Controller, the Treasurer, and the Department of General Services shall collaboratively develop, implement, utilize, and maintain the FISCal system. This effort will ensure best business practices by embracing opportunities to reengineer the state's business processes and will encompass the management of resources and funds in the areas of budgeting, accounting, procurement, cash management, financial management, financial reporting, cost accounting, asset accounting, project accounting, and grant accounting.
  (b) (1) All state departments and agencies shall use the FISCal system, or, upon approval from the office, a department or agency shall be permitted to interface its system with the FISCal system. The FISCal system is intended to replace any existing central or departmental systems duplicative of the functionality of the FISCal system.
  (2) The FISCal system shall first be developed and implemented with a select number of state departments and agencies, as selected by the office. Once the FISCal system has developed end-to-end processes that meet the financial management needs of the state and has been determined by the office to be effective, operationally efficient, and secure, the FISCal system shall be further implemented, in phases, as more fully described in the approved FISCal project documents, at all remaining state departments and agencies.
