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 (BOC).
Agency Response Dated August 30, 2018: The Office of the Chief Financial Officer/Division of the Controller (DOC) continues to work with the Office of Administration/Acquisition Management Division (AMD) to develop an automated process whereby BOCs can be corrected in the Strategic Acquisition System (STAQS), then carried over through the interface to the Financial Accounting and Integrated Management Information System (FAIMIS).
The DOC currently conducts routine reviews of the assignment of BOCs and identifies those that need correction. AMD staff are working with Compusearch, the developer of the STAQS software, to develop this automated solution in coordination with CGI, the FAIMIS software developer. Due to competing priorities there is now a delay until the first quarter of FY 2019.
Target Completion Date: 1st Quarter FY 2019 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.
Status: Resolved.
