Audit Report AUDIT OF NRCS BUDGET EXECUTION PROCESS OIG-13-A-18 Status of Recommendations Recommendation 3: Enforce the use of correct budget object codes.
Agency Response Dated March 29, 2018: Status: Ongoing Corrections to Identified BOC Exceptions: The Division of the Controller, Financial Reporting and Accounting Branch continues to work with the Office of Administration, Acquisition Management Division (AMD) to make the BOC corrections to obligation transactions in both Financial Accounting and Integrated Management Information System (FAIMIS) and Strategic Acquisition System (STAQS).
Corrections to obligation transactions in FAIMIS will be done using the Document Re-organization Notebook functionality.
AMD staff are working with Compusearch, the developer of the commercial off-the-shelf software that runs STAQS, to develop a solution that will allow for the correction of the BOC code on obligation transactions in STAQS, which will then be coordinated to correct the BOC in FAIMIS. The estimated completion date for deploying the solution to STAQS production after testing is projected to be early August 2018.
Target Completion Date: 4th Quarter FY 2018 OIG Analysis: The proposed corrective action addresses the intent of OIGs recommendation. This recommendation will be closed when OIG reviews agency documentation of completed reviews to assess the accuracy and consistent use of budget object codes.
