What is FIAR?
AFLCMC… Providing the Warfighter’s Edge
FIAR IS NOT:

An initiative of the current administration

Just a legal requirement

The sole responsibility of the FM Community
FIAR IS:

An enterprise-wide effort to:
-

Document and standardize business processes
Implement/enhance internal controls
Standardize data
Provide reasonable assurance that financial statements are presented
fairly
An initiative that involves all Functional Communities and
MAJCOMs

AFLCMC… Providing the Warfighter’s Edge
“Transforming financial management and achieving audit
readiness is the law. General Welsh and I are committed to
meeting these requirements, which are critical to maintaining the
trust and confidence of Congress and the American people, and
which will ultimately strengthen our Air Force.”
“In support of this essential effort, I directed SAF/FMP to provide
monthly updates on IT system Corrective Action Plans. These IT
remediation efforts are critical in establishing the trust and
confidence of our stakeholders and ultimately in strengthening
our Air Force.”

Eric Fanning, USECAF
Deborah Lee James,
SECAF
“As we continue to assess our readiness and design, implement,
and test corrective actions, we believe a concerted effort and laser
focus will be required in order for us to meet the 2014 deadline.“
"Strengthening our financial systems, and the associated controls
around those systems, remains our most critical challenge.
Despite this challenge, the Air Force believes we will benefit
greatly from an audit of our [Schedule of Budgetary Activity] in
2015, and further delays would place our goal of being ready for a
full financial statement audit in 2017 at risk.“

Why is Financial Improvement & Audit
Readiness Important?
AFLCMC… Providing the Warfighter’s Edge
• Comply with Laws
– Requires financial statement audits
– National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2013 requires Statement of
Budgetary Resources auditability by 30 Sep 2014
– NDAA 2010 requires full financial statement auditability by 30 Sep 2017
• Verify Correct Allocation of Funds
– Verify that all resources are allocated to approved mission priorities in a legal
manner
• Make Better Use of Resources
– Provide better information for timely, informed decision-making and identify
funds for other purposes
• Understanding the value proposition
– extends beyond auditable financials – accountability, cost control, operational
improvement
• Increase Public Trust
– Reassure the public and Congress that the Air Force is a good steward

Good audit results improve an organization’s creditability

GFE Contract Issues
AFLCMC… Providing the Warfighter’s Edge
• ID of GFE contracts requires matching input from FPDS-NG,
Center SOCCER responses, & IUID Registry
– Review reveals miscoding / low confidence in automated data —
requires manual verification of 750+ AFMC contracts
– Developing path to correct errors & to clarify base support vs GFE
• Numerous contracts will require clause updates
– Numerous “GFE” contracts validated to date do not include all six
required clauses
• Some awarded prior to current regulation; some contracts don’t include
GFE
– CONWRITE revised to pre-select all GFP clauses for Cost, T&M
contracts – and, when applicable, FFP
• SPS & ACPS already contained this logic
– Manual review of 1500+ Cost-Type contracts required
• PK/AQC/AQX to set burn-down plan, metrics for contract updates
– Top USAF Programs? Complexity? Period of performance? Dollar
value? GFE value? Contract Type?
22
Challenges to Meeting Our Goals
AFLCMC… Providing the Warfighter’s Edge
• Time
– 2014 is here for AF General Fund Statement of
Budgetary Resources, 2017 is not that far away for the
rest…Time is of the essence
• Automated Systems Environment
– Need to implement process and IT mitigating controls
to offset legacy system weaknesses
– Need to ensure Systems Controls (FISCAM) and
Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) compliance
23
How can you help?
AFLCMC… Providing the Warfighter’s Edge
• Your Involvement
– Look at what you are doing
• Ensure the documents are correct before you sign them
• Will an person outside the organization understand the
description of what you are buying
• Is the LOA complete and correct. Modifications changing
Line of Accounting muddies the audit trail and causes
rework.
– Perform Quality Reviews as required in your
functional guidelines
– Answer data calls quickly with all required
documentation, Auditors only give us 3-5 days to
reply
WE WILL WIN!
