BEIS

• Implemented SFIS-compliant Audited Financial Statements and Budgetary Reports for the following entities:
  • Air Force Working Capital Fund in Q1 FY08
  • Navy Defense Working Capital Fund ERP Implementation for Naval Air Systems Command in Q2 FY08
  • DoD Medical and Military Retirement in Q2 FY08

 

This accomplishment moves the DoD nearer to its FV objective of providing a CFO-compliant business environment for all agencies and activities.

• 58% of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) financial reporting entities used SFIS-compliant data by Q1 FY08.
• 62% of DoD assets reported by DoD-required stand alone reporting entities used United States Standard General Ledger (USSGL) and SFIS-compliant formats by Q1 FY08.
• 45% of DoD assets reported by OMB-required reporting entities used USSGL and SFIS-compliant formats by Q1 FY08.
  
  
• Implemented new and enhanced business intelligence capabilities in Q1 FY08:
  • 2008 Global War on Terror (GWOT) Reports
  • Updated Input for the GWOT Module
  • Single Print Command to print all GWOT reports
  • Special Interest Reports, Cost Accounting Organic Freight
  • New Input Module for Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) Comptroller(C) GWOT Adjustments
  • Software upgrade

 

These capabilities enhance DoD decision makers’ access to timely and accurate financial management information.

DAI

• Awarded systems integration contract at the end of Q4 FY07.
• Initiated the Blueprinting phase of DAI in Q1 FY08. Started the functional business solution development and technical design of interfaces.
  • Conducted workshops for all end-to-end processes and Master Data.
  • Discussed, in detail, requirements, business rules and policy, and system capabilities to improve and streamline transactions and processes.
  • Participation included Process Owners and Subject Matter Experts from the Defense Agencies to further interpret requirements and provide knowledge of business regulations and processes.
• Stood-up commercial hosting for initial training and validation environments in Q2 FY08.
• Conducted Conference Room Pilot 1 (CRP1) to validate the initial configuration of the DAI global business model, which includes Core IOC functionality, in Q2 FY08.
  • Verified the business blueprint design of the core functionality, identified issues and confirmed assumptions, using test scenarios and scripts.
  • All participating Defense Agencies provided input to the design of DAI.
  • Defense Agencies increased their understanding of DAI.

 

EFD

• Updated Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) 5.0 for target systems’ use, in Q1 FY08, to depict the enterprise information associated with those business events pertaining to funds distribution. This included all SFIS elements required for Federal reporting.
• Standardized the DoD-wide organizational hierarchy for funds flow management, in Q1 FY08, to ensure consistency in the defense-wide terminology across various funds distribution levels.
• Started the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and released a Request for Information, in Q2 FY08, to assess market capabilities available to support the EFD initiative. The findings will be incorporated into the AoA.

 

IGT/IVAN

• Expanded capabilities of IVAN proof of concept solution for orders from DoD to non-DoD agencies in order to assess its utility in addressing issues arising from orders with other Federal agencies in Q2 FY08.
• Initiated proof of concept effort between DoD and the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service and the Department of Interior’s GovWorks in Q2 FY08.

 

SFIS

• Developed SFIS Training Modules that address various levels of training needs and will support the constant effort of increased awareness, standard implementation and configuration of SFIS across the DoD in Q1 FY08.
• Integrated SFIS requirements into the initial OMB Financial Management Line of Business (FMLOB), Common Government-wide Accounting Classification (CGAC) that will be implemented across the Federal Government in Q1 FY08. This ensures that DoD will be compliant with Federal standards without changing the SFIS structure that has already been established.
• Defined and obtained agreement on a single SFIS Line of Accounting format which is a critical element in establishing a standard interface between the Defense Travel System (DTS) and six new Enterprise Resource Planning (Accounting) systems in Q1 FY08. The standard interface, when finalized, will eliminate the need for DTS to customize the interface for every new business partner. The standard interface goal is a critical cost-effective step towards interoperability across the DoD.
• Removed SFIS elements Expense Type, Revenue Type, and Liability Type, based on the new DoD Standard Reporting Chart of Accounts in policy Q2 FY08. The DoD Standard Reporting Chart of Accounts is incorporated in the SFIS element United States Standard General Ledger (USSGL)/DoD Account Number. These changes, and others, were voted on by the SFIS Governance Board and are therefore reflected in the SFIS Matrix BEA 5.0 and the SFIS Compliance Checklist BEA 5.0.

United States Standard General Ledger (USSGL) SFIS Transaction Library

• Included SFIS element requirements in the USSGL SFIS Transaction Library in Q1 FY08. The SFIS element requirements at the transaction level provide standard implementation guidance for all stakeholders across the DoD.
• Updated USSGL SFIS Transaction Library with Treasury's FY2007 and FY2008 updates in Q2 FY08. Since the USSGL SFIS Transaction Library establishes the standard detailed transaction posting guidance for the DoD, its updates must be consistent with the updates of Treasury’s USSGL.

 

Laws, Regulations, and Policies (LRP) Repository

• Created and distributed 119 comparison reports, which depict updates to 44 laws, regulations, and policies of which 38 were incorporated into the repository in Q1 FY08. Incorporating changes to the LRP repository provides the DoD community with an updated set of compliance constraints and linkages to the BEA.
• Compiled seven new laws, regulations, and policies into the repository in Q1 FY08. There are approximately 198 laws, regulations, and policies contained in the repository for BEA 5.0. Updating the LRP repository with new laws, regulations, and polices supports the continuous evolution and compliance to the BEA.
