Office of Financial Management Staff
The Office of Financial Management has
streamlined its organizational
structure to address critical financial management issues that
confront the Department of the Interior. In place of the previous
divisional structure, the Office of Financial Management has separated
into two interdisciplinary teams:
• Financial Management Systems and Reporting, and
• Financial Management Policy, Operations and Accountability
This new organizational structure allows the Office to (1) focus
efforts toward achieving the objectives of the Financial Management
Strategic Plan, (2) establish interdisciplinary teams to address
strategic initiatives, (3) expand the supervisory span of control, (4)
assign "focus" leaders with responsibility for making, directing and
monitoring strategy progress on strategic initiatives, and (5) provide
the office with the ability to support the Financial Management
Strategic Plan and evaluate staff based on clearly defined objectives.
The Financial Management Systems and Reporting Team has responsibility
for:
• Improving financial management systems - Responsibilities
include developing, testing, and implementing a Decision Support
System/Executive Information System to support information
requirements of senior managers; migrating the Federal Financial
System (FFS) to an "open system environment" to improve Core
Financial Systems support for financial and program managers;
participating in the development of an IDEAS/FFS/ABACIS
automated interface to electronically link procurement, finance
and property systems; maximizing opportunities for utilizing
electronic commerce and other Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
applications to streamline operations; and improving the Indian
Trust Funds systems to better support Indian Trust Fund
operations.
• Enhancing financial management reporting - Responsibilities
include the timely and innovative preparation of the
Department's Consolidated Annual Report to communicate concise
and high-level financial and performance information to a broad
audience; the timely and innovative preparation of the Prototype
Departmental Accountability Report to communicate detailed and
meaningful information to interested users regarding the
Department's operating performance, Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA) reporting, FMFIA and audit follow up
activities and other information relevant to understanding and
assessing the Department's operations; participating in
Departmental and Government-wide task forces to ensure that
Department interests are considered and innovative solutions are
explored; and providing guidance, direction and feedback to
bureau personnel to facilitate the preparation of clear, timely
and meaningful bureau-level annual reports.
• Building a financial data stewardship function -
Responsibilities include coordinating, on a Department-wide
basis, critical definitions for financial data necessary for
reporting to OMB, the Department of the Treasury, and for
Department-wide decision making and management; maintaining a
master set of definitions of Department-wide data and related
codes for use throughout the Department and bureaus; assisting
in the development of procedures to include data integrity as
part of management control review teams' normal reviews; and
establishing feedback procedures on data definition and usage to
identify and resolve data definition issues relating to bureau,
Department, or Federal government user requirements.
The Financial Management Policy, Operations and Accountability Team
has responsibility for:
• Improving management accountability and control -
Responsibilities include ensuring compliance with the FMFIA and
OMB Circular A-123 through oversight of bureau compliance with
FY 1996 program guidance, timely preparation of the FMFIA Annual
Report, and leadership in implementing recommendations from the
1995 Management Control Audit Follow up (MCAF) Value Added
Project Final Report; monitoring the Department's audit follow-up
program responsibilities through oversight of bureau actions
to implement audit recommendations and collect disallowed costs,
resolving disputed audit findings and recommendations, timely
preparation of the Secretary's semi-annual reports on audit
follow-up, and preparation of internal management reports on
audit follow-up; participation in special projects and related
teams to further streamline the audit follow up program; and
developing a strategy to report timely and informative data
summarizing the FMFIA annual report and semi-annual audit
follow up reports for inclusion in the Prototype Departmental
Accountability Report.
• Improving Departmental asset and debt management -
Responsibilities include developing, collecting, and analyzing
performance measures for critical asset and debt management
functions of the Department and making appropriate
recommendations to management. This includes pursuing new
initiatives that will (1) streamline travel related processes;
(2) maximize use of electronic media for communicating policies,
processing receipts and disbursements, and collecting financial
performance data; (3) develop cost accounting structures to
support program performance goals and cost recovery goals; and
