Long description for image: Figure 10: Level 1 Business Process of Financial Management

This figure depicts the Level 1 process flow for common financial management business processes, using six chevrons placed in three layers.

The top layer is a chevron labelled Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting Results and Performance Reports.

The centre layer is a row of four chevrons, each representing subsequent steps of the high-level financial management business process. The four steps are Need Identification; Obligation; Performance, Validation and Certification; and Payment. These four steps are further explained in two views—one from the Revenue perspective, the other from the Expenditure perspective.

  • Obligation is the Recognition of the Obligation;
  • Performance, Validation and Certification is indicated by Section 34 of the Financial Administration Act; and
