BFS is the main utility in creating, approving and submitting of the agency's annual fiscal year budget. The primary beneficiaries of this investment are agency and office level budget directors who are able to run projection and/or 'what-if' analysis on their respective business line, office and/or division against budget resource data. The agency as a whole benefits from a centralized information source thus eliminating the risk of error during budget data inquiries from Congress, OMB and other external entities.BFS interfaces with the agency's Core Ledger Financial System (FAIMIS). Budget and expenditure data is transferred to and from these systems for the purpose of budget forecast and planning and current fiscal year budget vs. actual review. In FY13, BFS will interface with Time and Labor Modernization (TLM) to provide a direct link of labor hours into BFS's Salary and Benefit application. More..
