ResultsThe Office of Financial Operations (FMO), acts on behalf of the Department of the Navy (DON) and is responsible for financial and accounting matters. The Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) directed the Department to evaluate, correct and test the controls and supporting information which facilitate the achievement of an unqualified audit opinion on the assessable units and financial statements. The Department created eight assessable units segmenting the environment into the key material financial processes.
Immersion has provided the critical subject matter expertise for three of the eight assessable units: Transportation of People (ToP), Inter fund (government to government) transactions, and Fund Balance with Treasury (FBwT). Interfund segments are underway, Immersion successfully asserted the Transportation of People and FBwT segments. ToP was the first assessable unit to achieve the required audit readiness standard in the Navy.USD(C) affirmed that the Transportation of People was audit ready allowing the Navy to proceed into examination by an independent public accounting firm.

ResultsThe BUPERS Comptroller required SME support for establishing consistent policy and internal controls to support DoD audit readiness goals.
A major step towards auditability is establishing a systematic method of mitigating financial system weaknesses. In addition, correcting ineffective processes is necessary to ensure funds are properly tracked and accounted from inception. By developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and training, staff personnel will be able to implement corrective actions well in advance of the 2015 deadline.
Immersion’s SME developed management controls, training, desk guides and standard operating procedures.
