<strong>FY</strong> <strong>2013</strong> <strong>Army</strong> <strong>Audit</strong> <strong>Readiness</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong><br />
7.0 Conclusion<br />
The <strong>Army</strong> has experienced dramatic changes in its business and financial operations in the last<br />
three years and more are coming. These changes are moving the <strong>Army</strong> in the right direction<br />
towards audit readiness. OASA(FM&C) has a sound, resourced plan, high levels of leadership<br />
engagement, and effective governance in place to meet its audit readiness goals.<br />
Changes to the business environment come at a time of great challenge to all of the military<br />
services. In addition to the strain of war, we are challenged by the reduction of defense budgets<br />
and spending caps established by the Budget Control Act of 2011. These constraints make<br />
improved financial operations and strengthened fiscal stewardship top priorities throughout the<br />
enterprise.<br />
In <strong>FY</strong> <strong>2013</strong>, we will build on the momentum created through these financial improvement<br />
initiatives by demonstrating progress towards our audit readiness goals, strengthening asset<br />
accountability, and advancing a culture of accountability across the <strong>Army</strong>. We are implementing<br />
efficient and adaptive processes, while making the <strong>Army</strong> a more agile and cost-effective<br />
organization. Holding ourselves to the highest standards of accountability in our business<br />
operations is essential. We owe it to Congress, the American taxpayers, and our very own<br />
Soldiers to succeed.<br />
