Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO provided information on: (1) the requirements of the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996; (2) efforts under way to implement the act; (3) challenges that agencies face in achieving full compliance with those requirements; and (4) the status of federal accounting standards. GAO noted that: (1) it is too early to tell the extent to which the 24 agencies named in the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act will be in compliance with FFMIA requirements for fiscal year 1997 because auditor reports discussing the results of the fiscal year 1997 financial statement audits will generally not be available until March 1, 1998, which is the statutory reporting deadline; (2) the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the CFO agencies have initiated efforts to implement the act's requirements and improve financial management systems; (3) although auditors performing financial audits under the CFO Act are not required to report on FFMIA compliance until March 1, 1998, prior audit results and agency self-reporting all point to significant challenges that agencies must meet in fully implementing systems requirements, accounting standards, and the U.S. Government Standard General Ledger; (4) regarding the adequacy of accounting standards, the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) has successfully developed a good initial set of accounting standards; (5) to date, FASAB has recommended, and OMB and GAO have issued, two statements of accounting concepts and eight statements of accounting standards tailored to the federal government's unique characteristics and special needs; and (6) OMB has integrated these concepts and standards into its guidance to agencies on the form and content of their financial statements.

This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fed. Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996 requires that agencies implement and maintain management systems that substantially comply with fed. financial management systems requirements. To assist in reviews of financial management systems under FFMIA, the author issued 3 checklists concurrently as practice aids. This checklist reflects the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program¿s ¿Framework for Federal Financial System Management Requirements.¿ Although the framework document is primarily a reference tool rather than a standard-setting document, it is intended to promote understanding of key financial management systems concepts and requirements, esp. as they relate to system integration.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (FFMIA) requires the 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies to implement and maintain financial management systems that comply substantially with (1) federal financial management systems requirements, (2) federal accounting standards, and (3) the U.S. Government Standard General Ledger (SGL). FFMIA also requires GAO to report annually on the implementation of the act. This report, primarily based on GAO and inspectors general reports, discusses (1) the problems that continued to affect agencies systems' FFMIA compliance in fiscal year 2006 and (2) the initiatives under way to help move federal financial management toward FFMIA compliance. Federal agencies have continued to make progress in meeting the requirements of FFMIA since the passage of the law in 1996. Most agencies though, have not yet progressed to the stage that their systems are substantially compliant, and some agencies have made little progress. Accordingly, agencies continue to fall short in their attempts to establish the financial systems needed to create the full range of information needed for effective day-to-day management. In fiscal year 2006, auditors for 17 of the 24 CFO Act agencies reported that agencies' financial management systems did not substantially comply with at least one of the three FFMIA requirements. As shown below, based on audit reports, GAO identified six types of problems primarily related to agencies' systems. These problems with agency financial systems remain a significant obstacle to supporting effective management of the federal government.

All 12 of the remediation plans GAO reviewed included corrective actions, but several were missing key elements. Moreover, agencies continue to struggle with efforts to modernize their financial management systems. This problem is particularly acute at the Department of Defense. Agency modernization efforts have been consistently hampered by failure to follow best practices in systems development and implementation, commonly referred to as disciplined processes. As a result, these efforts far too often do not meet cost, schedule, and performance goals. To help address these problems, OMB has demonstrated continued progress in the implementation of the financial management line of business initiative. However, additional steps forward are needed to provide a foundation for this initiative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inability to produce the data needed to efficiently and effectively manage the day-to-day operations of the federal government and provide accountability to taxpayers has been a long-standing weakness at many federal agencies. The Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 requires the 24 major departments and agencies to adhere to certain management and accounting standards. The act also requires auditors to indicate in their audit reports whether their financial management systems comply with the act's requirements. GAO is required to report annually on the implementation of the act. This, GAO's fourth annual report, discusses: (1) whether the financial systems of the 24 major agencies substantially comply with the act's requirements; (2) agencies' plans to bring their systems into compliance; and (3) other efforts to improve the government's financial management systems. For fiscal year 1999, auditors for 21 of the 24 major agencies reported that the agencies' financial systems did not comply substantially with the act's requirements. However, the number of agencies receiving "clean," or unqualified, audit opinions on their financial statements is increasing. Fifteen of the 24 CFO Act agencies received unqualified audit opinions in fiscal year 1999, up from 12 in fiscal year 1998 and 11 in fiscal year 1997. Agencies are slowly making progress in addressing the problems caused by financial management weaknesses. However, the continued widespread noncompliance with the act shows that there is still a long way to go to achieve systems, processes, and controls that routinely generate reliable, useful, and timely information for managers and other decisionmakers.
