| Description / aims | OSCAR replaces the COINS financial reporting system which supports fiscal management and spending control within HMT, produces Parliamentary Estimates and Public Expenditure Statistics. | The Scheme was established to makes payments to eligible Equitable Life policyholders for their Relative Loss as a consequence of regulatory failure. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| Departmental narrative, actions on Delivery Confidence Assessment | Confidence in project delivery is generally high. Amber status reflects a necessary deviation from the original delivery schedule. Although identified costs are on an upward trajectory, the project is still expected to deliver within its total budget and in line with the timeframes required by the business. | The Scheme aims to distribute up to £1billion in the first 3 years, but anticipates undershooting this target as a result of not successfully tracing all policyholders. To mitigate against this the Scheme is implementing a publicity campaign to encourage people to come forward. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |

| Departmental narrative on schedule, including any deviation from planned schedule | Delays to the very complicated WGA elements of the project mean that we are now working towards signing off the final delivery milestone at the end of May 2013 | On schedule | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |

| Departmental narrative on budget/forecast variance for 2012/13 (if variance is more than 5%) | Spend in 2012/2013 has been higher than forecasted, due to the WGA dealys. This overspend is likely to be offset by an underspend in 2011/2012 | Within tolerance. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| Departmental narrative on budgeted whole life costs | Total whole life costs currently exceed that originally forecast. Whole life costs include a generous allowance for future upgrades during the life of the project and will only be used if essential. As a result, it is quite possible that the overspend may be reduced before the end of the life of the solution. | The Scheme is broadly on budget with less than 3% overspend against the original, total outturn of £58m. HMT is working to identify potential opportunities for reducing the remaining operational costs, and has already identified c£500k cost reductions. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
