Military Personnel: DFAS has not Met All Information Technology Requirements for its New Pay System

Abstract

In moving forward with the development of the Forward Compatible Military Pay system, DFAS has not complied with specific legal and administrative requirements applicable to DOD's information technology investments. It did complete cost and benefit, return on investment, and break-even point analyses as required by the Comptroller's memorandum. However, DFAS has not submitted the forward pay proposal to the responsible domain to determine its compliance with DOD's Business Enterprise Architecture, which guides DOD's investments in financial systems. Because DFAS has not submitted the proposal to the responsible domain, the DOD Comptroller has not met its responsibility under the authorization act to ensure compliance with the Business Enterprise Architecture. Further, DFAS has not completed the necessary documents to support compliance with the Clinger-Cohen Act.
