Defense Repository for Common Enterprise Data

Abstract

Without a single Defense Repository for Common Enterprise Data (Advana) to support the TI97 General Fund for the 4th Estate the Department will be incapable of asserting readiness for an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements. All DoD organizations are pursuing the current statutory goal of achieving the state of audit that supports entry into a full financial statement of audit in FY 2018 with an initial opinion rendered in mid-FY 2019. Without an automated capability to provide a transactional universe for sampling and evidentiary proof the department will not be in compliance with public law. The requested funds will be used to buy “Big Data” software and hardware infrastructure and required contractor services to implement the technology to meet the UoT requirement. These funds also include subject matter expertise costs for DCFO and funds to be placed on a contract for hardware, software, and labor. This will not result in hiring additional government personnel. The Defense Repository for Common Enterprise Data (Advana) will have the capability to: • Ingest data from multiple accounting and financial feeder systems • Normalize data from multiple sources providing a common data architecture • Reconcile transactional details to summary financial data • Provide auditor’s the ability to sample TI-97 detailed transactions • Business Analytics/Reporting • DATA Act which is a statutory requirement to be completed by May 2017 • Provide NIPR and SIPR capability for non-sensitive and sensitive data This effort will expand in scope to support other enterprise analytics efforts like cost management, performance management, and readiness. The scope is to bring in data from an estimated 50 systems and demonstrate existence and completeness of business and accounting transaction data, which are capabilities required for audit readiness and other analytical use cases.
