"At the heart of mSCOA are people. As a collective, we need to recognise that and invest in the people we work with. mSCOA will become a powerful tool in our quest for better corporate governance, better decision-making and ultimately better service delivery." - Philip de Bruin, Managing Director, Business Engineering

mSCOA and Integrated Business Processes & Systems - Future Cities Africa Future Cities Africa and the Municipal Edge in collaboration with National Treasury present the '"Municipal Standard Chart of Accounts" Webinar Series 2026.
When Adv Hanlie Linde joined Bergrivier Municipality in 2012, the municipality had 16 unintegrated systems. The journey since has been one of deliberate consolidation and investment, while acknowledging that no municipality in South Africa can yet claim to be fully there.
Bergrivier uses from Business Engineering as its core financial system and works closely with developers to keep pace with evolving GRAP standards and financial requirements.
The Collaborator document management system, provided by Business Engineering, is central to daily operations. When issues arise, they are attended to immediately.
An interdepartmental ICT committee drives the smart city agenda incrementally - because rural municipalities cannot absorb all digital costs at once, the approach is steady and deliberate.
A new citizen-facing Collaborator app was launched a year ago. Uptake has been gradual, particularly among older residents, requiring ongoing awareness campaigns. The municipality is committed to bringing its public along on the journey rather than leaving them behind.
"I don't think there is one municipality in South Africa that can say we are there yet, but we are working hard at it." - Hanlie.
