Context
Before the implementation of the Integrated Public Financial Management Information System (Bütünleşik Kamu Mali Yönetim Bilgi Sistemi – BKMYBS), public financial management processes in Türkiye were supported by fragmented and institution-specific IT systems. This situation limited interoperability, reduced data quality, increased administrative burden, and hindered the timely production of reliable financial and non-financial information required for policymaking, management, and oversight. In response, a comprehensive and integrated digital reform was initiated to modernise public financial management and establish a unified technological and governance framework at national level.
Objectives
The project aims to ensure that all core public financial management functions – budget preparation and execution, accounting, financial reporting, statistics, and audit – are carried out electronically through interoperable systems and modules. By preventing duplicative IT investments across public administrations, the project seeks to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability, while enabling the systematic production and use of high-quality data for evidence-based decision-making. In line with these objectives, artificial intelligence technologies have been introduced to support anomaly detection, risk analysis, decision support, and digital audit processes, contributing to the more effective and efficient management of public resources.
Implementation
The system has been implemented across a broad institutional scope, covering central government administrations (general budget institutions, special budget institutions, regulatory and supervisory authorities) as well as other public entities such as revolving funds, provincial directorates, and selected local governments. This wide coverage enables the production of internationally compliant financial statistics through a single integrated system. Core modules – including accounting, expenditure management, asset management, and public personnel payments – have been developed and complemented by digital solutions such as e-Invoicing, e-Procurement, e-Collection, e-Guarantee Letters, e-Documents, and e-Signature. As a result, public financial processes are now managed in a process-oriented, fully electronic, and increasingly data-driven manner.
