To assist in reviews of financial management systems under FFMIA, the author issued 3 checklists concurrently as practice aids. This checklist reflects the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program¿s ¿Framework for Federal Financial System Management Requirements.¿ Although the framework document is primarily a reference tool rather than a standard-setting document, it is intended to promote understanding of key financial management systems concepts and requirements, esp. as they relate to system integration.

Book Description
The Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996 requires, among other things, that agencies implement and maintain financial management systems that substantially comply with federal financial management systems requirements. These requirements are detailed in the Financial Management Systems Requirements series issued by the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP), in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-127, Financial Management Systems, and in OMB's Implementation Guidance for the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996, issued September 9, 1997. JFMIP intends for the requirements to promote understanding of key financial management systems concepts and requirements, to provide a framework for establishing integrated financial management systems to support program and financial managers, and to describe specific requirements of individual types of financial management systems.

Book Description
The Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (FFMIA) requires the 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies to implement and maintain financial management systems that comply substantially with (1) federal financial management systems requirements, (2) federal accounting standards, and (3) the U.S. Government Standard General Ledger (SGL). FFMIA also requires GAO to report annually on the implementation of the act. This report, primarily based on GAO and inspectors general reports, discusses (1) the problems that continued to affect agencies systems' FFMIA compliance in fiscal year 2006 and (2) the initiatives under way to help move federal financial management toward FFMIA compliance. Federal agencies have continued to make progress in meeting the requirements of FFMIA since the passage of the law in 1996. Most agencies though, have not yet progressed to the stage that their systems are substantially compliant, and some agencies have made little progress. Accordingly, agencies continue to fall short in their attempts to establish the financial systems needed to create the full range of information needed for effective day-to-day management. In fiscal year 2006, auditors for 17 of the 24 CFO Act agencies reported that agencies' financial management systems did not substantially comply with at least one of the three FFMIA requirements. As shown below, based on audit reports, GAO identified six types of problems primarily related to agencies' systems. These problems with agency financial systems remain a significant obstacle to supporting effective management of the federal government.

All 12 of the remediation plans GAO reviewed included corrective actions, but several were missing key elements. Moreover, agencies continue to struggle with efforts to modernize their financial management systems. This problem is particularly acute at the Department of Defense. Agency modernization efforts have been consistently hampered by failure to follow best practices in systems development and implementation, commonly referred to as disciplined processes. As a result, these efforts far too often do not meet cost, schedule, and performance goals. To help address these problems, OMB has demonstrated continued progress in the implementation of the financial management line of business initiative. However, additional steps forward are needed to provide a foundation for this initiative.

Book Description
This publications supersedes AIMD-00-21.2.2, Core Financial System Requirements: Checklist for Reviewing Systems Under the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act, February 2000. The Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (FFMIA) requires, among other things, that agencies implement and maintain financial management systems that substantially comply with federal financial management system requirements. These requirements are detailed in the Federal Financial Management System Requirements series issued by the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP) and in the guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB): Circular No. A-127, Financial Management Systems, and the January 4, 2001, Revised Implementation Guidance for the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996. JFMIP intended for the requirements to promote understanding of key financial management systems concepts and requirements, to provide a framework for establishing integrated financial management systems to support program and financial managers, and to describe specific requirements of financial management systems. We are issuing this checklist, which reflects JFMIP's revised Core Financial System Requirements (JFMIP-SR-02-01, November 2001), to assist (1) financial systems analysts, systems accountants, systems developers, program managers, and others who design, develop, implement, operate, or maintain financial management systems and (2) management and auditors in reviewing agency core systems to determine if the systems substantially comply with FFMIA.
