NCAS Business Requirements and Business Overview
 
The NCAS is the central financial system for the State of North Carolina.  It provides control over the State's financial operations and resources.  The NCAS ensures consistent financial information for central government authorities, as well as accommodates unique agency business requirements.  It provides the necessary integrated financial integrity and process to direct and record the State's business and financial activities.

The NCAS is supported by Geac Enterprise Server functions with the exception of cash management and payroll, which are agency developed legacy systems. The business applications of the NCAS are shown in Figure 4.
