AgendaAgenda

• General CG Audit Strategy– Balance Sheet– Accountability vs. Accounting (Why You Need Both)

• Quick Overview of Management Assertions• How does CG get there for Real Property?

– Cumulative Cost-based Asset Enrollment Trips based on co-located units– Use best practices learned from Personal Property Remediation: Let the

Inventory cleans the account, behavior, and make program healthy.• Mythbusters

System

Sustainability

Focus on those items most material to the DHS Balance Sheet

Attack the items that can be remediated outside of current financial system limitations

‘Fix it once’ Remediate the root causes of the issue, not just a ‘quick fix’. To get through a current year audit

Divide the world of work into “Assessable Units”

MAP Focus AreasMAP Focus Areas

• Segregated Mission Action Plan (MAP) focus areas into two tracks– Track One – those with largest impact on DHS balance sheet, can be

fully remediated in current system state & sustained into the future– Track Two – less material, but needed for full remediation of balance

sheet line items

• Consolidated (DHS) Balance Sheet Audit for now– Stand-alone audit in the future?– Performance audits?– Internal Controls audits?

Accountability vs. Accountability vs. AccountingAccounting

• Accountants are at CGHQ & FINCEN• Keep them there!

• Accounting is the Byproduct of Operations• We want to leverage what units already do• Units know more than any of the accountants about

their “stuff”

Page 11: United States Coast Guard Real Property Completeness & Existence ASMC DC Chapter Luncheon 16 March 2011

Financial Statements & Management Assertions

• Completeness• Existence and Occurrence• Valuation and Allocation• Rights and Obligations• Presentation and Disclosure

Page 12: United States Coast Guard Real Property Completeness & Existence ASMC DC Chapter Luncheon 16 March 2011

• Completeness• Existence and Occurrence• Valuation and Allocation• Rights and Obligations• Presentation and Disclosure

What does this really mean?

Financial Statements & Management Assertions

Page 13: United States Coast Guard Real Property Completeness & Existence ASMC DC Chapter Luncheon 16 March 2011

• Completeness – floor-to-record• Existence and Occurrence – record-to-floor• Valuation and Allocation – approximates historical

cost• Rights and Obligations – do we own it or effectively

own it, or does someone else own it? (e.g. Is it leases or on loan, etc.?)

• Presentation and Disclosure – Has something been delivered that is still accounted for in CIP

Financial Statements & Management Assertions

Page 14: United States Coast Guard Real Property Completeness & Existence ASMC DC Chapter Luncheon 16 March 2011

How do we get there for Real Property?

• Step 1: Target higher cost geographic areas first, and enroll assets methodically

• Step 2: Use the best practices of Personal Property remediation: Leverage units through a CG-wide capitalized property inventory, and use inventory to cleanse account, behavior, and make program healthy.

Inventory High-level StrategyInventory High-level Strategy

• Let inventory expose other problematic life cycle procedures– Acquisitions– Disposals– Transfers– Improvements– Impairments

• Use Unit Personnel and CO/OIC/Unit level Supervisor to reconcile financial and subsidiary systems to get accurate count at each rung of hierarchy– Use each unit’s inventory as a building block for the entire CG’s

inventory– Use asset UID’s to track across several systems– Process flows drive decisions to arrive at standardized/repeatable

result

Signatures and dates are required on last page of Physical Inventory Report, as shown:

As a reminder, the actual sign off is performed once the subsidiary system reconciliation has been completed.

Procedure - Subsidiary System Procedure - Subsidiary System ReconciliationReconciliation

System Reconciliation:Currently, there is no interface and/or reconciliation between Oracle Fixed Asset (OFA) databases and Subsidiary Systems (e.g. AOPs, ALMIS, SAM, etc). This provides a very high probability that the CG has two different sets of property assets, and potentially unaware of disposal of assets. In turn, this could result in potential under/overstatement of PP&E account balance.

Procedure - Subsidiary System Procedure - Subsidiary System ReconciliationReconciliation

Some Subsidiary System Reports to be used during the Physical Inventory Count:

Aviation Logistics Management Information System (ALMIS) - used to record operations & logistics of aircraft (also used for small boats).

Abstract of Operation System (AOPS) - used to record the operations & logistics of small boats & vessels.

Auxiliary Management Information System (AUXMIS/AUXDATA) - used to record auxiliary activities, including operations & logistics of small boats & vessels.

Fleet Logistics System (FLS) - used to record the operational aspects of general purpose property, electronics, & occasionally real property.

Shore Asset Management System (SAMS) - used to record the operational aspects of real property.

Once assets have been identified & matched, initial & date each asset on subsidiary system report, as shown:

Procedure – Subsidiary System Reconciliation Procedure – Subsidiary System Reconciliation Report Example: AOPS for boatsReport Example: AOPS for boats

Each asset is reconciled to Physical Inventory Report needs to be highlighted, initialed, & dated by CT.

Any discrepancies found during the reconciliation between the subsidiary system report & OFA report needs to be noted on subsidiary system report.
