Online Acquittal Support Information System (OASIS) overview
The Online Acquittal Support Information System (OASIS) is a tool designed to help create more efficient and effective grants processes and systems.
OASIS will enable non-government organisations funded by the Department of Communities (currently not available to those funded through Disability Services, Child Safety, Housing or Sport and Recreation) to electronically maintain their details, submit periodic financial and performance reports, and access reports about this information.
Completing financial acquittals and performance reports electronically is the department's preferred way for organisations to report. Over time, this will be the main way the department will accept reports with manual processes only allowable in exceptional circumstances.
Importantly, the system enables organisations to upload their financial information using MYOB, QuickBooks, a generic format that meets the department’s Standard Chart of Accounts, or alternatively the information can be input directly into OASIS.
For departmental staff it will provide a secure way to access information and reports and manage daily tasks to assist in the monitoring of funded service providers.
A pilot of the system was completed in 2008 with a group of funded organisations and the Sunshine Coast Region. The success of the OASIS pilot enabled OASIS to be made available statewide during January 2009.
