Annual Property Inventory Certification due August 27th ITA's signed, certified annual property inventory is due to Jeffrey Scherr in OOMS by August 27th. For a clean audit, ITA's inventory must accurately record ITA's property on an ongoing basis, not just once a year. Please assist your property custodians in verifying your office's inventory and ensuring that ITA's records are complete. If you are a Purchase Card holder or otherwise procure property, please promptly provide your Custodian with complete purchase records so that the property can be included in the certified inventory. If you have any questions, please contact your Accountability Officer or Jeff Scherr in OOMS at (202)482-3266. As a result of ITA's recent reorganization, new door signs should be ordered for offices that incurred changes. To assure that Departmental and ITA standards are met, all requests for door signs must be submitted via email to Judith_Wilson@ita.doc.gov in the Office of Organization and Management Support for review and processing. Include the unit, office, and manager's names, position title, and the appropriation code to bill the printing cost of $35 each sign. If you have questions, contact Judith Wilson at (202)482-3265.ITA Guidance Update
in Progress The Office of Organization and Management Support (OOMS) is currently in the process of updating ITA guidance information. Representatives from each of the program units and the CFO/Director of Administration offices will be contacted for updates. It is important that these updates accurately reflect existing procedures in ITA so that information will be considered relevant. Once the updates are completed, the new guidance will become available on the internet. For more information, please contact Lynna Cobrall at (202)482-3031 or via email Lynna_Cobrall@ita.doc.gov. Verification and Validation Reviews of Performance Data In keeping with the President's Management Agenda (PMA), ITA measures progress toward achieving strategic goals through several ITA-wide performance measures. We will begin to conduct on-site verification and validation reviews of performance source data during the fourth quarter of FY 2004. For additional information on the verification and validation reviews, contact Ed Meyer at (202)482-3304. ITA received its passback from the Department on the FY 2006 Secretarial Budget Submission. The Department generously supported ITA by granting increases of $4M for the Enhancing America's Competitiveness and $3M to support the Secretary's Standards Initiative. ITA has appealed for additional funding to support new initiatives and is awaiting a decision from the Department. If you have questions, please contact Amy Duncan at (202)482-5739. |
