4.1 Overview

This chapter establishes requirements for making proposed changes to existing OCFO financial management systems.

a. Financial Executive Round Table.

b. Financial Steering Group.

c. F-APMB.

d. Financial Process Teams.

4.2.2 The Financial Executive Round Table reviews and approves proposed changes to existing CFO policy, processes, and systems/requirements.

4.2.3 The Financial Steering Group develops/concurs on recommendations to be presented to the Financial Executive Round Table for approval and to support the CFO with the implementation of approved decisions made by the Financial Executive Round Table. If the course of action has systems implications, then the Financial Steering Group will coordinate with the F-APMB to ensure the development of requirements are consistent with CIO standards.

4.2.4 The F-APMB coordinates with the Financial Steering Group for the development of new or proposed changes to CFO policy, processes, and systems/requirements efforts. The F-APMB will work with the Financial Process Teams consisting of financial subject matter experts (SMEs) from across the Agency.

4.2.5 The AP delivers an integrated customer support function that consolidates the majority of the application support elements for the Agency's information systems.

4.2.6 The roles and responsibilities, service level commitments, and associated performance standards between the AP and the Financial Steering Group (acting as a proxy for the NASA financial user community) are defined annually through a Service Level Agreement.

4.2.7 All financial system change requests, which are approved via the AP, but do not require CFO approval, are reviewed by the F-APMB to ensure that changes needing CFO concurrence are presented to the CFO for concurrence.
