ITA Diversity - Today's Global Reality Did You Know:
One of ITA OHRM's goals is to expand our outreach recruiting efforts by broadening our scope and identifying and building partnerships with minority universities, including private and small institutions, and universities with handicapped/disabled student populations. OHRM also plans to enhance relationships with professional minority organizations by inviting these groups to HCHB to meet with ITA Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Our SMEs will speak to these groups about "Why minorities should work for Commerce". These types of diversity initiatives will contribute to our recruitment efforts by attracting and recruiting talented diverse candidates to ITA. Click here to view ITA's Diversity Snap Shot.

FY 2005 Budget
ITA
has received the Senate markup of the FY2005 budget. The Senate and House marks were
very similar. The Office of
Financial Management (OFM) continues to work diligently with the program
areas to close the FY2004 accounts and activities to meet USG
requirements. If there are
any questions, please contact Amy Duncan at (202)482-5739. FY 2004 Year-End Closing and
Financial Statement Audit
Year-end
is fast approaching, and there are many dates of which budget and
financial personnel need to be aware. Most due dates are sooner than in
previous years due to the accelerated due date for the Department's
audited financial statement and Performance and Accountability
report. The President's
Management Agenda requires that this year's statements and report be
completed by November 15. ITA
offices can find year-end guidance and deadlines at http://www.ita.doc.gov/ofm_guidance/Year-End%20ClosingFY04.pdf
Any questions regarding year-end processing instructions contained
