Corrective Actions<br />

Components are<br />

implementing controls<br />

over the apportionment<br />

and allotment <strong>of</strong> funds by<br />

identifying the entire<br />

transaction population<br />

and reconciling the<br />

<strong>financial</strong> statement<br />

amount to the general<br />

ledger, to the detailed<br />

transactions, and to<br />

supporting authorizing<br />

documents (e.g., public<br />

law, OMB<br />

apportionments, funding<br />

authorization<br />

documents). Components<br />

are also working with<br />

sub-allotees to document<br />

and reconcile funds<br />

distributed to them.<br />

Components are working<br />

toward integrating<br />

general ledger systems<br />

with feeder systems to<br />

maintain transactionlevel<br />

supporting<br />

documentation for<br />

disbursements and<br />

collections. The<br />

Components also are<br />

developing the processes<br />

and controls to reconcile<br />

transaction-level<br />

differences between DoD<br />

and the Department <strong>of</strong><br />

Treasury accounts in a<br />

timely, efficient manner.<br />

The Department<br />

continues to improve<br />

business processes and<br />

controls through the<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong><br />

enterprise resource<br />

planning (ERP) systems<br />

that produce accurate,<br />

timely and auditable<br />

<strong>financial</strong> <strong>report</strong>s. In<br />
