Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the Department of Defense (DoD) Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) Plan using the Balanced Scorecard. Using Niven's methodology of applying the Balanced Scorecard to the nonprofit and government sectors, the purpose of the thesis is to determine if the Balanced Scorecard can assist in execution of the FIAR Strategy to achieve the goal of asserting financial audit readiness by 30 September 2017. The analysis produced a Strategy Map and Balanced Scorecard, which translated the FIAR Strategy into practical objectives, performance measures, targets and initiatives. The thesis revealed that the Balanced Scorecard can be used to assist in FIAR Strategy execution, including recommendations provided to DoD leadership on ways to improve the FIAR Plan.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over two decades Congress has made several efforts aimed at improving financial visibility throughout the federal government. Responses from Department of Defense (DoD) have been criticized by Congress for not meeting requirements. In December 2005, the DoD released the Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) Plan. This plan is intended to integrate the individual efforts by DoD agencies into a coherent and comprehensive plan which aims to improve financial management within the Department, address Congressional mandates, and pass independent verification through audit. This analysis seeks to address two questions. Does the FIAR Plan create value through the integration of politics, substance, and administration? If so, can this change effort be sustained over the long-term? Previously published academic frameworks for evaluating public sector organizations will be used for each question. Benefits of this study will identify elements of value created by the FIAR Plan and recommendations improving perceived benefits to stakeholders. Second, it will provide an assessment of the risks to sustaining the change processes required of the FIAR Plan and provide recommendations for focus to high risk areas.

This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Over the years, the Department of Defense (DOD) has initiated several efforts intended to improve its financial management operations and ultimately achieve an unqualified (clean) opinion on its financial statements. These efforts have fallen short of sustained improvement in financial management and financial statement auditability. In this statement, GAO provides its assessment of DOD's progress toward: (1) producing an auditable Statement of Budgetary Resources (SBR) by fiscal year 2014 and a complete set of auditable financial statements by fiscal year 2017, including the development of interim milestones for both aforementioned audit readiness goals; (2) acquiring and implementing new enterprise resource programs and other critical financial management systems; (3) reengineering business processes and instituting needed controls; and (4) implementing a comprehensive business enterprise architecture and transition plan, and improved investment control processes. This statement is primarily based on GAO's prior work related to the department's efforts to achieve audit readiness, implement modern business systems, and reengineer its business processes. GAO also obtained and compared key milestones in a February 2012 DOD briefing on its updated plans to accelerate achieving SBR auditability with the May 2011 Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness plan but did not independently verify the updated"
