How Account NI works

Account NI is improving the delivery of financial transaction processing services across the NI Civil Service.


Previously, businesses providing goods and services to the NI Civil Service had to deal with financial systems that varied across the different departments. Now, Account NI provides one streamlined service from purchasing through to payment of invoice.

Account NI delivers value to both suppliers and NICS departments by reducing the paper based elements of the purchasing and invoicing process

How does Account NI work?

Staff in NICS departments have access to easy ordering via a web-based purchasing system that generates and issues purchase orders.  When suppliers subsequently send their invoices to Account NI, they are scanned and recorded onto our systems. Once there, invoices are matched to the relevant purchase orders, the invoices are processed for payment and suppliers receive a remittance advice.

Our commitment to customer service means that all the support and advice needed can be easily accessed
