Air Force Audit Status
BIGGEST CHALLENGE -- Multiple financial feeder systems and current 1960s core accounting system does not meet federal requirement to use the USSGL at the detailed transaction level
Performing end-to-end business analysis focusing on processes and systems, addressing FIAR deal breakers in a systematic fashion
Focus on specific IT system controls Partnering with DFAS to develop and implement a tool to facilitate
reconciliation between systems Engaged with partners to monitor their progress
Focus on Statement of Budgetary Activity vice Statement of Budgetary Resources deliver benefits to Airmen now

On track towards effectiveness, suitability, mission capability and readiness for Initial Operational Test and Evaluation.
Funds Control” is ≤ 2% funds control failures
DEAMS did not meet the criteria. Two severity one deficiencies (sometimes) allowed automatic posting of transactions that exceeded funds controls
Both deficiencies were resolved and no funds control failures were observed
Balance with Treasury” is ≥ 98% balanced
85% were in balance. DEAMS did not meet the criteria DEAMS improved to 98% and met criteria
Subsidiary Accounts Balanced to General Ledger Control Accounts” is ≥ 95%
No subsidiary accounts balanced to general ledger accounts
100% of subsidiary accounts balanced to general ledger accounts
Accurate Balance of Available Funds” is ≥ 98% accurate
39% of funds balanced with over $26M in observed accounting errors
Performance did not meet criteria, but improved to 60% accuracy “shortfalls slowed work completion, the mission could be accomplished an overall improvement since OA-1

System Controls” is ≤ 5% of transactions entered through DEAMS which contain invalid data and are processed
DEAMS met the criteria DEAMS exceeded criteria with a 3% result
Period End Processing” is ≥ 95% of accounts closed that have period-end data available to the official financial reporting system by the prescribed day
0% accounts closed 100% of accounts closed accurately and on time
Balance with Treasury” is ≥ 98% balanced
85% were in balance. 98% were in balance
100% of critical exchange requirements satisfied
Met connectivity requirements. However, many of them did not satisfy requirements for complete and accurate exchange of information. Therefore, end-to-end operational effectiveness was not met.
Did not meet criteria; 96% of critical exchange requirements were satisfied. However, the test team rated it likely to meet criteria in IOT&E because proactive monitoring of interfaces resolved most end-to-end operational impacts
Percentage of reports and queries generated successfully ≥ 98%
Reports & queries generated successfully was 75%. Reports and queries generated successfully declined to 69%

Materiel Availability” is ≥ 98% for performing an assigned mission at a given time
DEAMS met the criteria DEAMS again met the criteria • There were no operational mission failures during OA-2.• The DEAMS Help Desk support was rated effective.• The DEAMS Help Desk response time was rated effective.
Regression testing verifies that DEAMS performance has not been degraded as a result of software patches, updates or changes
No regression testing was accomplished At the start of OA-2, 15 regression scripts were in use. By the end of OA-2, 107 scripts had been added for a total of 122. With continued software updates to DEAMS, regression testing will be an on-going need
