Replacing the State’s accounting system involves more than just installing new software with the same capabilities. To fully realize all the benefits of the new accounting system requires re-engineering how business is done, hence the name Business Re-Engineering Arizona. BREAZ is a statewide initiative to transform Arizona’s business processes and replace the State’s current accounting system (AFIS) and a number of agency financial systems. The project will modernize the State’s central accounting system and set the course for how the State will do business for the next 20-30 years. The State is also taking time to review and improve its current business processes. By implementing standard business processes, agencies can operate using consistent policies and procedures and support stronger internal controls and uniform skill sets.
