Budget Execution - F 2 3 IT/IM Budget Guidance The NRC has enhanced their budget execution process and procedures to better align budget formulation and budget execution and to provide better visibility to all stakeholders. In FY 2020, OCFO implemented a new module within their Budget Formulation System (BFS) to capture the budget execution information. This new module, the Commitment Planning Module (CPM), is designed to track budget execution, document and explain reallocations against formulated resources, and to ensure that appropriate plans are formulated before commitments occur. At the start of a fiscal year, Allowance Holders create Baseline contract/task order level commitment (execution) plans aligning with the latest budget estimate. By aligning detail level contract plans against budgeted resources, CPM facilitates an early identification of resources for reallocation. With the additional goal of enhancing the CIOs visibility on budget execution, the OCIO leveraged the CPM to require CIO approvals for baseline commitment plans, as well as changes and reallocation requests on IT resources. The CIO approves reallocations throughout the year based on the OCIO reallocation approval guidance procedures. The agency has also implemented the consolidation of IT hardware and software purchases, as well as requiring offices to submit IT hardware and software purchases for enterprise architecture review.
