FST Governance Groups Start 2021 with RAPID Decisions

 

At the end of last year, the FST team introduced a few upcoming choices requiring stakeholder input.

The process for gathering input on these choices (also known as the "I" in RAPID ) began this week at the first FST Advisory Group Meeting of 2021. Nicole Ferretti, FST's Functional Team Lead, presented the following six topics at the meeting:

• Should user access to create a requisition stay restricted or be extended to all users? 
• What is the plan for the conversion of historical data outside of Workday?
• Will UVA require all Workday Expenses users to leverage Per Diem for travel? 
• As UVA considers transformation away from Recon@, it will need to start shifting towards front-end controls sufficient for OSP's audit purposes. To that end, what workflow controls and approval requirements does UVA need? 
• Will UVA revise and redesign their matching policy for invoices before payment?
• Should UVA discontinue the use of WebWire?

Attendees then had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the potential impacts of these topics. This discussion was extremely important as it will influence the final decisions affecting the future state of finance at UVA. 

This process will continue at the Steering Committee Meeting on January 20, 2021.
