The development of the Integrated Financial Management Information system was a move by the Kenyan government in 1998 through the Ministry of National Treasury to implement Public Financial Management ( PFM) reforms. This system was to be later deployed in other ministries five years later in 2003. Just like any other system out there, the implementation of IFMIS was not without its challenges and thus prompting a re-engineering program in 2011 that was aimed at making the system reliable and efficient at the same time. The purpose of this particular study was to analyze the critical success factors in the implementation of these re-engineered IFMIS in the ministries that make up the Kenyan government. The researcher applied the survey research method through a stratified sampling technique that was used to divide the sample population into three; finance officers, ICT officers, and Key system users. The sample population consisted of a total of 74 employees. From the study, it was established that the implementation of the re-engineered IFMIS boiled down to 9 critical factors which are; top-level management and support; team spirit and good support teams; skilled team; user involvement in the process and clear recruitment and risk management procedures; set times for capacity building and achievement of goals; involvement of competent firms in the project; good communication; clear and well set goals and the availability of appropriate infrastructure.
