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