Financial Management Information Systems (FMIS)

Abstract

The Financial Information Resource System (FIRST) is a software development effort to build a single system for programming and budget formulation that will allow the sunset of the Program Data System (PDS), Automated Budget Interactive Data Environment System (ABIDES) and Resource Allocation Programming Information Decision System (RAPIDS) legacy systems. The Budget Formulation (BF) capability supports force programming, formulation of budget requirements and deliberation of budget options, budget justification processes, and documentation. FIRST BF encompasses the budget exercise process, which affects all organizational levels, and is based on core financial and selected program information used to build the AF budget. In this budget, FIRST will provide the capability necessary to eventually replace the Program Data System (PDS) and conduct studies and analysis to support current and future program planning activities. SAF/FMP will identify the capabilities in a strategic plan to complete budget formulation. FIRST will comply with: the Clinger-Cohen Act; the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA); Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Act; DoD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR) guidelines, and; Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) guidelines. Defense Enterprise Accounting and Management System (DEAMS) is replacing a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) based software configuration effort that will provide an auditable modern accounting and finance system. DEAMS will replace existing accounting and finance legacy systems to provide core funds execution management functions consistent with financial management laws, regulations and policy, general ledger, funds management, payments, receivables, cost and revenues, and fiduciary reporting. To date, DEAMS has fielded Increment 1, Spiral 1 with over 700 users at Scott AFB and ANG units providing committment acounting capability, which have been successfully used for 2 successive year-end closeouts. DEAMS has also successfully released a Beta version of Increment 1, Spiral 2 to approx. 300 users that provide a full general accounting capability. Joint AF and USTRANSCOM technology demonstration includes investment funding, commitment accounting, cost accounting, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) accounting and contingency operations management. DEAMS is compliant with the Clinger-Cohen Act, Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA), and integrate into Global Combat Support System-Air Force (GCSS-AF). Activities also include studies and analysis to support current program planning, execution, and future program planning. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because the program modernizes Automated Information Systems (AIS).
