L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 3 IGT Material Weakness History of Material Weakness for the U.S. Government o As it has for each of the past 19 fiscal years, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a disclaimer of opinion on the FY 2015 Financial Report of the U.S. Government. In its report, GAO cited the government's difficulty to "adequately account for and reconcile intra- governmental activity and balances between federal entities" as a material weakness and a major impediment to expressing an opinion. DoD Compilation IGT Three Primary Impediments Disclaimer

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 4 IGT Material Weakness The Issue “If two federal entities engaged in an intragovernmental transaction do not both record the same intragovernmental transaction in the same year and for the same amount, the intragovernmental transactions will not be in agreement, resulting in errors in the consolidated financial statements.” - FY 2015 U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT The Simplicity of the IGT Issue:

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 5 IGT Material Weakness Accomplishments  Treasury has taken the lead in developing a plan to mitigate and eliminate the IGT material weakness finding. Key efforts include:  Quarterly IGT Metrics and Scorecards  Journal Vouchers (JVs)  General Fund Reporting  Root cause analysis and corrective action implementation monitoring  Preventative controls to identify and prevent agency misstatements during the closing package reporting process.  Dispute Resolution process improvements  IGT Chapter in the Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) – TFM Chapter 4700 and Appendices 7 and 10 updates  Transfer logic model publication With these foundational elements in place, Treasury is well positioned to measure IGT accountability and compliance

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 6 IGT Material Weakness Accomplishments  Policy and Procedures  Updated TFM Chapter 4700, including Appendix 7 and Appendix 10  New TFM Root Cause and Corrective Action Plan Policy  Expanded TFM guidance for reporting with the General Fund  IGT Metrics and Scorecards:  Continued use and expansion of Quarterly scorecards to measure progress government-wide and by agency  Publication of Quarterly scorecards on OMB Max (Q1 FY 2016)  Audit Requirements:  CFO Sign-off (Material Difference Reports) and CFO Representation  Closing Package audit procedures on GFRS Module GF004 Federal Trading Partner Note

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 8 Buy/Sell by the Numbers Total IGT Differences– FY2015 (Year End)

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 9 o Buy/Sell activities are transactions between agencies managed through an interagency agreement, often called a reimbursable agreement. o Agreements typically cover: o Exchange related to goods and services rendered o Accounts receivable and other assets o Accounts payable and other liabilities o Advances o Prepayments from/to o Deferred Credits o Buy/Sell eliminations occur in three Reciprocal Categories (RC): o RC 22 – Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable, and Other Liabilities o RC 23 – Advances to Others and Prepayments / Advances from Others and Deferred Credits o RC 24 – Buy/Sell Costs / Revenues Buy/Sell Fundamentals

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 10 o USSGL Accounts in each Reciprocal Category can be found in Appendix 7 of I TFM (Table 3): Buy/Sell Fundamentals

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 11 Buy/Sell by the Numbers Agency IGT Scorecard and Metrics

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 12 o Accurate reporting of buy/sell balances and proper elimination of buy/sell activity depends largely upon…. Buy/Sell Fundamentals COMMUNICATION

Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP) Annual Conference May 9, 2016 Government Invoicing (G-Invoicing)

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 14 G-Invoicing is an application which supports the brokering of Intragovernmental Buy/Sell Transactions by Federal Trading Partners The application will enable users to manage the processing and approval of General Terms and Conditions, Orders and Invoices Data collected through workflow activities will initiate IPAC transactions to perform fund settlement Fact Sheet

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 17 System Development Activities G-Invoicing 1.0 – September 2016 Separates IPP (E-Invoicing) and IPP-IGT (Buy/Sell) Rebrands the application to G-Invoicing Only active Users and GT&C data will be migrated / converted as part of the 1.0 Release G-Invoicing 2.0 – Mid-FY 2017 Focus will be on enhancements to begin positioning G-Invoicing for a Governmentwide rollout Continue to address change requests relating to security and enhanced permissions logic to control/limit user data access Subsequent Releases Align enhancements by core functions (GT&C, Order, Invoice) Address requirements to facilitate Agency onboarding and implementation of data standards

L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER Page 18 Impact to the IGT Buy/Sell Difference How will the G-Invoicing Application help to resolve the material weakness relating to IGT Buy/Sell in the Financial Report of the United States Government? What G-Invoicing will be: Agreement Broker Workflow Enabler Data Exchange Platform What G-Invoicing will not be: Not an Accounting System Not a Procurement System Not a replacement for talking to your trading partner
