The Financial Accounting sub-system was another example of where the delivery of the system kept on slipping despite plans. In January Financial Accounting was not seen as a major piece of work and delivery in July was anticipated (01107). By June, despite the problems of phase II, they had installed an expenses system and were still talking about delivering something by the end of the year (00555). By August a phased approach had been agreed with phase I by end November and phase II June 1995 (00803, 00777) but by November they were talking about implementation in a further year's time (00855, 00862). The reasons for this delay were probably an under estimate of the complexity of the Financial Accounting sub-system possibly aggravated by the more traditional approach adopted by Colin (00555, 00963, 00855). There may also have been an element of unwillingness to be honest with the users when the timescales started to slip (00956).
