After closure of PIFRA on, its FABS component was mainstreamed into the o/o DG MIS/FABS on. PIFRA was implemented at federal, provincial and district levels of the government in three phases between 1996-2014. FABS was initiated and established under Government of Pakistan and World Bank-funded Project to Improve Financial Reporting & Auditing(PIFRA). The office of the Director General MIS/FABS, working under the Controller General of Accounts(CGA), is responsible for smooth functioning of the SAP-based Financial Accounting & Budgeting System(FABS), which is an Integrated Financial Management Information System(IFMIS) being run at government offices at federal, provincial and district level. The solution is planned to be replicated in all AGPR-suboffices in respective provinces. Activation of the solution has already led to filtering out of hundreds of applications for advances that were against the rules, thereby improving service delivery to the deserving applicants, as well as saving the exchequer from undue burden of advances to those employees who have not repaid due instalments on previous advances. Furthermore, rules are enforced by the system through which an employee is barred from getting a particular advance more than twice during the length of her/his service. It also tracks repayment of advances and makes sure that next advance is only allowed to an employee once he has paid back the required number of instalments of the previous advance as per the applicable rules. The solution ensures that the employees get the advances according to the order in which they have applied for the same.
X AGPR Goes Live with Loan and Advances ModuleĪ solution has been successfully implemented for AGPR Islamabad under which processing of House Building, Motor Car, Motor Cycle and Cycle advances for government employees under ambit of the AGPR main office in Islamabad, has been automated.
