LUCAS Legislative Council Treasurer Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Attorney-General has provided the following advice: 1.	The Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit's Recovery Management System was implemented on 18 June 2018 and replaced a legacy, bespoke system provided by the Courts Administration Authority. The implementation was delayed due to the challenges of aligning interface testing windows with multiple large stakeholders, as well as resolving complex migration challenges to ensure the integrity of the data was preserved. 2.	The practical completion date of the GPO Tower remains unchanged at September 2019. However, it is expected that payments in relation to the project will be incurred to the end of the 2019-20 financial year. 3.	Forensic Science SA is a highly complex organisation with numerous business needs related to analytical processes, quality assurance and judicial and legislative requirements. Forensic Science SA cannot compromise on the quality assurance of the Laboratory Information Management System, given its critical involvement in the criminal justice sector. The project has been slowed by the complexity of underlying business rules required to be written into the code and the extensive testing and validation required before release. 4.	The detailed design of the SAET case management system was completed and agreed with the provider in February 2018. However, during phase 1 of the system's development, it became evident the provider needed to commit significantly more time and effort to develop and test the CMS in a way that would ensure SAET's requirements would be met. It is anticipated the system will be operational by June 2019.
