Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) is modernizing its information systems to strengthen its administrative operations. VBA has taken steps to improve its software development capability, including launching a software process improvement initiative, chartering a software engineering process group, and obtaining the services of an experienced contractor to help with software process improvements. Despite this progress, other software development improvements are needed. These include (1) a defined strategy to reach the repeatable level and a baseline to measure improvements, (2) a process improvement training program for its software developers, and (3) a process to ensure that VBA's software development contractors are at the repeatable level. Unless these deficiencies are addressed, VBA's software development capability will remain ad hoc and chaotic, putting the agency at risk for cost overruns, poor quality software, and schedule delays in software development.

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.

For this report, GAO’s objectives were to (1) determine the extent to which the Navy had internal control deficiencies, if any, that may impair its ability to assert that its buildings, as reported in its financial statements, exist and that the information about these buildings is complete and adequately supported by property records and (2) identify the challenges, if any, that Navy faces in valuing its buildings in accordance with federal accounting standards. GAO is making four recommendations to the Navy to improve internal controls for its buildings by implementing needed written procedures and control activities.

Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these paperbacks as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound paperback, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com

Download or read book Dod Financial Management written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial management problems at the Department of Defense (DOD) are complex, long-standing, and deeply rooted throughout its business operations. DOD's financial management deficiencies represent the single largest obstacle to achieving an unqualified opinion on the U.S. government's consolidated financial statements. So far, none of the military services or major DOD components have passed the test of an independent financial audit because of pervasive weaknesses in financial management systems, operations, and controls. These problems go back decades, and earlier attempts at reform have been unsuccessful. DOD continues to rely on a far-flung, complex network of finance, logistics, personnel, acquisition, and other management information systems for financial data to support day-to-day management and decision-making. This network has evolved into an overly complex and error-prone operation with (1) little standardization across DOD components, (2) multiple systems performing the same tasks, (3) the same data stored in multiple systems, (4) manual data entry into multiple systems, and (5) a large number of data translations and interfaces, which combine to exacerbate problems with data integrity. Many of the elements that are crucial to financial management reform and business process transformation--particularly those that rely on long-term systems improvements--will take years to fully implement.
Download or read book Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.

Download or read book Information Technology written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) does not have a financial management enterprise architecture, and it does not have the management structures in place to effectively develop, implement, and maintain one. DOD has not applied recognized best practices--particularly support and sponsorship by the head of the enterprise and assignment of accountability and commensurate authority--to develop, implement, and maintain a DOD-wide financial management enterprise architecture. Nevertheless, DOD's various components are either spending or planning to spend billions of dollars to acquire new or modify existing financial management systems. In the absence of a complete, enforceable enterprise architecture, such investments are unwise. DOD runs the risk that its components will spend billions of dollars to modify and modernize financial management systems independently from one another, forcing DOD to maintain a system that suffers from duplication, limited interoperability, and unnecessarily costly operations and maintenance. As part of its plan to invest in financial management systems modernization, DOD has tried to use lessons learned from its Year 2000 program. DOD can build upon these actions to ensure that it uses recognized best practices for enterprise architecture management. This approach will allow DOD to position itself to cost effectively manage the billions of dollars it plans to spend on financial management operations. This approach will also increase the odds that DOD will modernize its financial management operations and supporting systems in a way that will optimize financial management performance and accountability.
