27 March 28, 2008 Outstanding Issues Aging Report

28 March 28, 2008 Internal Controls Fund Balance With Treasury RecommendationProposed ResolutionStatus NASA should consider strengthening its communications with the centers by developing and implementing a communication plan that keeps the centers up to date on control monitoring requirements. The NASA OCFO will respond.Open The FBwT Service Delivery Guide and process narratives should be updated as the process evolves. Additionally, NSSC and Center process owners should standardize the names of roles and process steps and conduct training sessions to gain a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities in the processes. After further discussion with PWC, there appeared to be confusion with the accounting functional Service Provider role titles and the IT Service Provider role titles. The NSSC updated the FBWT SDG to clarify the accounting functional Service Provider role title by changing the title from “Service Provider” to “FBWT Service Provider”. Training, of both civil service and Service Provider personnel, on the SDG processes began December 4th and ended January 31st. Training was conducted twice weekly for approximately eight hours each day. Closed In accordance with Treasury's rules and regulations regarding suspense accounts, NASA should consider modifying the SAP to Treasury reconciliation process to eliminate suspense Journal Voucher (JV). NASA should request a waiver from Treasury to be able to post to suspense until NASA can update the process and eliminate the need to post to suspense The NASA OCFO will respond.Open Blank Fund Review-NSSC should consider performing the CMP/PMC review of blank commitment items and functional area as recommended in the FMR, Volume 19, Chapter 22. The NSSC will perform blank fund, blank ALC, blank commitment item and blank functional area reviews on a daily basis. The SDG will be updated to reflect the addition of daily blank commitment item reviews. Closed Status of resolution – NSSC Transitioning Process Design Assessment

29 March 28, 2008 Internal Controls Accounts Payable RecommendationProposed ResolutionStatus The NSSC should designate an individual within the Center's Accounts Payable or Procurement department to update the NSSC Vendor Invoice Processor of changes regarding Center's authority listing. In addition, a back-up designee should be assigned for each Center. The NSSC AP will obtain invoice approval lists from Center Procurement and Finance and implement a process to receive the POC list for Contract Assignments from Center Procurement. Procedure will require regular updates from and follow-ups to Procurement and Finance to ensure both lists are kept up to date. Open All incoming vendor and FI invoices should be submitted to the NSSC directly from the vendor to be uploaded into SAP. Each Contracting Officer (CO) or Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) should approve his/her invoices daily to verify goods have been received and services performed. This change in the process will require a control to be put in place that will detect invoices sent to the centers for approval have been returned to the NSSC for processing. This was a Center observation. All incoming vendor and FI invoices that are received at the NSSC will be scanned and routed through the Accounts Payable Work Management System (AWMS). AWMS will allow the NSSC to track status of invoices, to identify aged invoices, invoices not returned/approved, etc. and to follow-up with approving officials to ensure accurate and timely processing of invoices. After the transition go-live date, some of the invoices will be incorrectly sent to centers instead of to the NSSC. The Centers will need to send these invoices to the NSSC for processing. The NSSC will coordinate with the Centers to ensure that all of these invoices are accounted for. These invoices will be logged and tracked. During the transition stabilization period, there will be daily meetings with the Centers. Status of invoices will be one of the topics of discussion. Closed Status of resolution – NSSC Transitioning Process Design Assessment

30 March 28, 2008 Accounts Payable RecommendationProposed ResolutionStatus The NSSC Vendor Payment Processor should validate that services have been rendered and the IPAC was approved by the applicable CO or COTR before posting to SAP. The NSSC sees the process differently. At the time the IPAC is received by NASA the U. S. Treasury has already reduced NASA's funding by the amount of the IPAC transactions so there is little need to hold these transactions out of the accounting system pending some additional approval. Posting the valid and complete transactions upon receipt actually allows NASA records to remain in balance with U. S. Treasury records. Currently the NSSC performs the following IPAC validations based on downloaded information from GOALS: Purchase Order Number, Obligation Amount in SAP, Type Payment, Originating ALC, Customer ALC, Document Reference Number, Dollar Amount, Accomplish Date. After validation, the IPAC is posted to SAP. For Goods Receipt related IPACs the NSSC also checks SAP to ensure the goods receipt transaction has been processed in SAP. For services related IPAC the NSSC posts the IPAC transactions upon receipt/validation and then notifies the responsible activity of the posting and asks for confirmation/approval of services claimed on invoice/IPAC. If the responsible activity disapproves the posting the NSSC will work with the charging entity to reverse the IPAC or take other required action. The NSSC recognizes that not all NASA Centers are using an approval prior to posting process for IPAC. Therefore the NSSC will develop a standard IPAC posting procedure and coordinate it with the OCFO to standardize the process across NASA.

31 March 28, 2008 Internal Controls Accounts Receivable RecommendationProposed ResolutionStatus The Revenue and Receivables Service Delivery Guide and process narratives prepared should be updated as the process evolves. Additionally, NSSC and Center process owners should participate in training sessions to gain a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities in the processes. The Revenue and Receivables Service Delivery Guide and process narratives are now and will be in the future updated as the process evolves. Coordination between NSSC and center process owners is ongoing and will continue throughout the workload transition, stabilization and ongoing future operations. Closed Intra-Governmental Reimbursable Agreements-The combination the safe(s) should be changed on a semi-annual basis to maintain security integrity. A work order has been established to provide locksmith service to change the safe combination upon employee departure or at six month intervals.

Closed There should be an additional documented review and reconciliation of the deposit log, Paper Check Conversion (PPC) Summary Report, check batch listing, SF-215, and CA$HLINK Report by the Deposit Processor Supervisor.

The NSSC process will include an additional review of the new customer accounts once the new account has been established. New customer accounts for reimbursable accounts receivable are established by the centers. The NSSC procedure has been documented in the applicable Service Delivery Guide.
