Paper Title
Conceptual Design of a Data Warehouse for Cash Management and Forecasting in Public Finance – Albanian Case
Abstract
The application of information technology has grown significantly in every business area, from simple to more
advanced and complex applications, supporting every business operation. Many scientific researchers have focused on using
information technology to support decision-making processes. Our research paper is focused on a specific area of public
finance: cash management and forecasting. In our research, we will present a conceptual design of a data warehouse that will
be used as the core of a sophisticated system for improving cash management and forecast in the Government of Albania. The
data warehouse will be designed in such a way to allow application of Business Intelligence tools, such as Online Analytical
Processing and data mining for performing query and reporting, complex financial analysis, predictive analysis and support
decision making, that are crucial for the management and forecast of the cash flow. During our research we will analyze the
sources of data, the architecture of the data warehouse and propose a multidimensional model as the best solution to
accomplish our task. Another advantage of the designed data warehouse is the further extension for additional financial
processes and analysis.
