Frequently Asked Questions

No, this is a financial systems management role. While you need to be highly tech-savvy, the focus is on user administration, compliance auditing, and functional training rather than software development.
LOGIS (Logistical Information System) is primarily used for procurement and inventory management, while BAS (Basic Accounting System) is the primary system for tracking government expenditure and revenue. This role bridges the gap between these two systems.
You will likely be tested on your ability to troubleshoot common LOGIS/BAS integration errors, design a user training module, or identify 'audit red flags' within a financial system data dump.
