The Californer/10359559

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Californer -- The Financial Information System for California (FI$Cal) has completed the transition of the State of California's official accounting book of record onto the FI$Cal platform, a milestone mandated by Assembly Bill 127. The change consolidates the State's authoritative accounting ledger onto a single modern system used for budgeting, procurement, cash management and accounting.

The transition, delivered under FI$Cal Director Subbarao Mupparaju, replaces legacy arrangements and is among the largest public financial-systems modernizations in the country. It affects how California reconciles transactions, processes payments and closes its books.

"This milestone will create efficiencies across all accounting operations while paving the way for further system improvements," said Subbarao Mupparaju, Director of the Financial Information System for California.
