A Message from the Assistant Commissioner
July 2006
Dynamic changes have occurred with us. We have listened to your requests, have restructured and have increased our capabilities in helping you meet new strategic goals.
Treasury Agency Services is now titled Agency Accounting Division and reports directly to the U.S. Treasury, Financial Management Service, Governmentwide Accounting. The two new elements of our Agency Accounting Division are:
Financial Consulting Branch (formerly known as Accounting Operations Branch and Financial Systems Consulting)
Financial Education Branch (formerly known as the Professional Development Division)
By making these changes, we have opened our doors to valuable Financial Management Service resources and expertise. Our strategic alignment will transform Federal financial management accounting operations, consulting and training that we provide to you as we incorporate new business processes, information, and technology. As we collectively proceed in the massive shift of government financial processing to web-based systems, our Government-Wide Accounting Modernization Project will provide agencies with better tools, such as Account Statements, for accessing and monitoring the status of all government agency financial information, especially at end-of-year closings. Better tools for agencies, together with the elimination of agency month-end reporting and statements of differences, translate into a reduced need for accounting and reconciliation support in ways that were previously needed. The transformation and fusion will also mean our U.S. Government clients can anticipate the need for consulting assistance and employee training to bridge the gap.
As a member of the Financial Management Service, we are in a position to make a significant impact and provide superior consulting and training to help you achieve mission success. A full spectrum of support will be provided
- Accounting Operations
- Financial and reconciliation accounting training and consulting
- New formats and audiences for financial management education services
- U.S. Government employee education, development and certification
- Improvements in consulting techniques and services
Our value-added service will exceed your expectations and our in-depth customer support will remain the bedrock of all efforts. Together with you, we look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.
D. James Sturgill Assistant Commissioner Governmentwide Accounting Financial Management Service
