“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

Auditors identified 11 General Fund and 12 Working Capital Fund Material Weaknesses under the following categories:
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

Information Technology Review and limit system access to only those who need it and only for the specific areas within the system that they need to access. Perform risk-based user access reviews and automated reconciliations for financial systems Corrective Action Plan All plans should have defined timelines, milestones, and an identified senior accountable official and action officer(s), to meet the Notice of Findings and Recommendations closure. All Air Force Corrective Action Plans have been submitted to OUSD(C) database Plan to Sustain Build upon and sustain the audit results Monitor internal controls to ensure existing policies and processes to sustain auditability
