Federal Managers’ Financial Integrity Act of 1982 (FMFIA)
FMFIA requires that agencies establish internal controls and financial systems that provide reasonable assurance that the integrity of Federal programs and operations is protected. It requires that the head of the agency provide an annual assurance statement whether the agency has met this requirement.
Appendix A of OMB Circular A-123 provides specific requirements for conducting management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and also requires the agency head to provide an assurance statement on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (FFMIA)
FFMIA requires that agencies implement and maintain financial management systems that comply substantially with the Federal financial management system requirements, applicable Federal accounting standards, and the United States Government Standard General Ledger at the transaction level. The agency head is to make an annual determination whether the financial systems substantially comply with FFMIA.
