MG-17 · Budgeting and finance

Is every dollar appropriated before it is committed, every invoice matched before it is paid, every period closed on the record, and every statement traceable to its postings?

The budget agent builds the budget from the program plan and tracks commitments and actuals live. The ledger agent posts from the services, matches invoices three ways, runs depreciation from the register and reconciles every control account to its source. The reporting agent drafts the statements with every figure listing its journals; the CFO certifies and the accountable officer signs. Measures first.
