One of the most far-reaching current efforts on campus is the ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, project. This project involves a multi-year effort to address devolution from the State of Florida. The transition involves, among other things, moving away from legacy systems like FLAIR.

PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications Suite is to be implemented across a range of university processes and activities, starting with financial and payroll systems.

OACR will have a critical role as the new systems and processes “go live.” Section 1011.4105, Florida Statutes, requires that university inspectors general certify transition plans and assess key controls for implemented systems and business processes (Attachment III). To that end, the majority of our audit resources will be committed to this endeavor during the next two years.

This office remains closely involved as the timeline unfolds - through the on-going participation of the Chief Audit Executive and other office staff in various transition advisory and IT committees.

The focus for the next two years will be the university's transition to an enterprise resource planning system and the establishment of locally controlled funds, accounts and transactions.

As of February 26, a new name has been approved for the ERP project– UF Bridges. For more information, including status reports and critical dates, please see the project website at http://www.erp.ufl.edu or alternatively at http://www.bridges.ufl.edu.
