Since 2010, the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) and Human Resources Management Information System (HRMIS) in Liberia has leveraged the FreeBalance Accountability Suite™ to enable modern comptrollership and governance throughout the public sector.
The IFMIS automates all public finance transactions related to the budget, including budget preparation, expenditure controls, government audit, procurement, monitoring, reporting, civil service payroll, and external reporting. The system supports over 400 users and approximately 60,000 employees with an estimated 180,000 transactions annually.
The scope of the Liberia IFMIS project was significant for a post-conflict country. The implementation was rolled out smoothly, in large part due to the highest level of political support and good project management processes practised by the Government of Liberia.
Following the decision to replace the Liberian Tax Administration System, SIGTAS was selected and implemented at the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA). SIGTAS was implemented in the large, medium and small taxpayer offices as well as a number of rural revenue offices. 33,000 taxpayers are now managed through SIGTAS, which collects over USD330M US per year in tax revenue. Two years after SIGTAS’ implementation, LRA has registered a 1100% increase in revenue collection.
