<p>The CPS migrated to an Oracle Cloud system for Finance and Procurement functions
on 1 April 2019.</p><p>The system is configured to ensure that it is fully compliant
with Government Finance ‘Global Design Principles’ which are based on best practice
and it also provides improved data security.</p><p>The Oracle Cloud system went live,
as originally planned, on 1 April 2019 and was fully operational from that date. CPS
completed their 2018-19 financial year-end on the new system and the resulting financial
statements were successfully audited by the NAO.</p><p>The Government Internal Audit
Department have been asked to conduct a review of the controls of the new Oracle Cloud
system and the NAO have been asked to complete their annual technical audit of the
new system at the earliest opportunity. This will provide the CPS with independent
third party assurance of the effectiveness of the new system.</p>
