Business Function
- Name of business function.
- State a name or identifier (of up to 3 words).
- Cross-reference to the business function from original business function assigned in Part 1
Function Code
- The acronym for each business function and its serial number.
- This function number is used as a shorter form of unique identification of each business function within the entire BIA exercise and also as a cross-reference to the rest of the document.
- For example, “HR” is the acronym for Human Resource Department and say, the function is "Payroll". The function number “HR-01” is CBF Number 01 (first of the series of business function) for HR Department.
- Cross-reference to the function code from original function code assigned in Part 1
Name of Business Unit or Vendor/Supplier/Outsource Partner
- This Dept/Unit/Vendor/Supplier/Partner is inter-dependent on the Business Function.
- Note (1): There should be a one-to-one relationship between every source and target Dept/BU with the exception of: external agencies e.g. Central Bank, government ministries and agencies, common organizational support units e.g. IT, Human Resource, Finance.
Type of Dependency
Internal/ External
- This column details what type of relationship is shared between the Business Function and the Business Unit/Vendor/Supplier/Partner. There are 3 possible dependencies:
- Upstream
- Downstream
- Mutual dependency
- Notes (2): If the Source Dept/Unit and the Target Dept/Unit are the same department/unit, then, there may be a need to identify the sub-unit level e.g. Finance-Account Payable and Finance Account-Receivables. Be caution that this is usually not needed except for special cases.
- Description of Dependency
- In this section, describe the nature of the dependency between the two different units. Elaborate on the nature of the relationship between both units.
