Download or read book DOD financial management more reliable information key to assuring accountability and managing defense operations more efficiently written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent audits of the fiscal year 1998 financial statements for DOD and the individual military services, performed by the DOD Inspector General (IG) and the service audit agencies, and our report on the U.S. government's financial statements have highlighted many critical DOD financial management problems. These problems not only hamper the department's ability to produce timely and accurate financial management information, but also significantly impair efforts to improve the economy and efficiency of its operations. Key areas of concern relate to ineffective asset control and accountability, which affects DOD's visibility over weapons systems and inventory, and unreliable cost and budget information, which affects DOD's ability to effectively measure performance, reduce costs, and maintain adequate funds control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, we reported that DOD lacked a comprehensive and integrated strategic plan with key milestones, measures/metrics, accountability mechanisms, or cost estimates for achieving financial statement auditability. While the FIAR Plan identifies three goals for improving DOD financial information and achieving audit readiness, it does not contain the key elements of a strategic plan that we have previously reported as necessary for successful DOD business transformation. During our review of DOD's September 2008 FIAR Plan, we identified the following areas that the department needs to address to improve the FIAR Plan as a strategic and management tool: clear guidance is needed in developing and implementing improvement efforts; no clear baseline exists against which incremental progress can be measured; linkages between FIAR Plan goals and corrective actions and reported accomplishments are not always clear; clear results-oriented metrics for measuring and reporting incremental progress are needed, and accountability is not clearly defined or assigned and resources budgeted and consumed are not identified. We also identified recent actions the department is taking to begin to address many of the issues we have identified above.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Army's overall financial accountability for its disbursements during fiscal year (FY) 1992, focusing on: (1) the reliability of the disbursements reported in the Army's budget execution system; (2) the adequacy of automated data processing controls that support the Army's financial accountability systems; and (3) progress made on Department of Defense (DOD) initiatives to improve Army financial management. GAO found that: (1) the lack of sustained DOD leadership has impaired the Army's overall ability to strengthen its financial accountability; (2) the Army's budget execution system has not been reliable; (3) during FY 1992, the Army Materiel Command did not retain adequate records to support disbursements recorded in the Army budget execution system; (4) weak controls over data processing operations could not ensure that the Army's financial data were accurately processed and secured; and (5) DOD financial management initiatives have been impaired due to a lack of key DOD personnel and a comprehensive guidance plan.
