The Common Departmental Financial System (CDFS) is a comprehensive on-line departmental financial management and reporting system designed to simplify and streamline financial administration. CDFS was developed to respond to the changing needs for financial management information in the federal government. It complements recommendations outlined in Public Service 2000 which called for departmental line managers to assume a greater responsibility for financial management of the areas under their control. Offered by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), CDFS is an optional service. It replaces the FINCON and FINCAP systems. CDFS is a distributed system. Under the current configuration, the PWGSC Mainframe acts as a host while the presentation layer resides at the client site on a Local Area Network (LAN) or workstation. 2, record 5, English, - Common%20Departmental%20Financial%20System

Le Système financier ministériel commun (SFMC) est un système ministériel complet de gestion financière et d'établissement de rapports en direct conçu pour simplifier et rationaliser l'administration financière. Le SFMC a été élaboré afin de répondre aux changements dans les besoins en information de gestion financière du gouvernement fédéral. Il donne suite aux recommandations formulées dans le cadre de Fonction publique 2000, selon lesquelles les gestionnaires hiérarchiques devaient assumer une plus grande part de responsabilité quant à la gestion financière des secteurs placés sous leur contrôle. Le SFMC est un service facultatif offert par Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada (TPSGC). Il remplace les systèmes FINCON et COMPFIN. Enfin, le SFMC est un système réparti. Selon la configuration actuelle, le macroordinateur de TPSGC joue le rôle d'hôte, tandis que la couche présentation se trouve dans les locaux du client, intégrée à un réseau local (RL) ou à un poste de travail. 2, record 5, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20financier%20minist%C3%A9riel%20commun
