NSE Implementation Project Update #2
Dear Colleagues,
I'd like to take this opportunity to update you on the status of the NSE Implementation Project and highlight the changes that will occur in three areas of purchasing.
The NSE Implementation Project Team has held several workshops with NSE Focus User Group which is composed of representatives from all Faculties and Divisions. I'd like to extend my thanks to the members of this group for their time and valuable input.
The three areas of purchasing that will be affected by changes are:
1. The use and reconciliation of the UNSW Purchase Card;
2. Staff Reimbursements;
3. International Travel.
The following table provides an approximate timeframe for the rollout of these new processes.

Please note that the implementation of both Staff Reimbursement and International Travel will be accomplished in stages. When the details of the timeframe have been decided, you will be notified via emails and communications will be posted on the finance website Communications – Finance Projects.
An extensive training program consisting of lectures, hands-on classroom teaching and online self-directed UPK training commences in late September.
We value your continued support as we design an improved, user-friendly expense management system.
In our next communication, we will highlight the main changes that will occur to the three purchasing processes.
