DFAS an Operationally Efficient and Cost Effective Agency For 2000 and beyond.

Abstract

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimates the federal government spent over $7 billion in fiscal year 1997 performing, maintaining, and improving finance and accounting operations Auditors, however, have consistently reported that these operations continue to be plagued by deficiencies that undermine the government's effectiveness and drain resources that could be used elsewhere. This paper will review GAO report findings, Congressional legislation, and DoD directives that are requiring the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to review and consolidate its operations to be more cost effective and operationally efficient. This paper will also review the options DFAS has chosen to be competitive and remain competitive with A-076 studies.
