FM Strategic Plan – Why?

“This update to the Financial Management (FM) Strategic Plan is a call to an actionable strategy that resonates with our FM workforce—officer, enlisted, civilian, and contractor. It refreshes our blueprint to help create air, space, and cyber capabilities for the United States Air Force, take care of Airmen, take care of the treasures entrusted to us, and create a lethal FM team ready to support combatant commanders.” “We took a fresh look at our FM Vision and Mission Statements since that’s where we start in guiding our work today to build a better future. We solicited inputs from across FM—senior and junior personnel—and developed this new direction.” – John P. Roth

FM Vision: Financial Excellence—Powered by

Airmen, Fueled by Innovation

FM Mission: Provide resources, financial services,

and decision support to deliver air, space, and cyber capabilities for our nation

Audit Remediation Approach

Achieving a clean audit opinion will require a three part strategy:

Demonstrate progress  Develop, Prioritize, Implement and Complete Corrective Action Plans (CAPs)  Avoid Notice of Findings and Recommendations (NFRs) reissuances due to failure Improve audit opinion  Work and minimize the impact and severity of material weaknesses  Meet FY2019 SECDEF goals of addressing Real Property, Inventory, and IT Access Controls Achieve and sustain auditability  Implement a robust Internal Control Program to help sustain a clean audit and reduce future audit findings.  Operate system of Internal Control across the Air Force

Strengthen Internal Controls Program Prioritize NFRs Address Material Weaknesses Strengthen Internal Controls Program

  • Countermeasures are actions taken to mitigate known problems
  • Taken at higher levels to reduce work on bases
  • 5th step in the 8 step problem solving method
  • Applied after validation and analysis of problem
  • Examples of countermeasures
  • Automatic triggered actions (shown is later slides)
  • Target low $ value, low priority and lingering problem cases
  • Robotic Process Automation
  • Training
  • Regional Training Center

Bottom Line: Countermeasures are an aggressive approach to reduce stress on the field and clean up the books.
