Since the first financial statement audit was attempted at a major DoD component over 20 years ago, auditors have continued to report significant weaknesses in DoD's ability to provide timely, reliable, consistent, and accurate info. for mgmt. analysis, decision-making, and reporting. In 2005, the Financial Improve. and Audit Readiness (FIAR) Directorate was established in DoD to manage financial improvement efforts and to integrate those efforts with transformation activities across the dept. This report analyzes this plan to identify any areas where improvements are needed to enhance the plan's effectiveness as a mgmt. tool for reporting on DoD's efforts to identify and resolve its financial mgmt. weaknesses and achieve financial statement auditability.
