Financial Management Support Services

Planning, Program, and Budget Support

In order to ensure planning, programming and budgeting allocations are developed and distributed properly, we maintain contact and ensure continuity with the Services' operations personnel responsible for developing cost estimates and Program Objective Memorandum (POM) exhibits. We assist our clients in generating a balanced set of programs that respond to guidance and priorities and are within fiscal constraints. We work with our clients to monitor OSD correspondence to assess risk due to funding reductions and ensure real-time changes are managed and executed appropriately.

Program Execution

Acuity is ready and able to provide feedback to senior leadership concerning the effectiveness of current and prior resource allocations. In developing detailed financial plans that track commitments, obligations, and expenditures, our metrics program supports execution reviews at all levels in addition to measuring actual output versus planned performance. Acuity is also available to offer recommendations to adjust resources and/or restructure programs to achieve desired performance goals. We provide administrative support in all phases of funding document preparation to include internal and management controls, reconciliation, and posting to internal financial management systems.

Financial Forecasting and Cost Estimating

Acuity has developed 'financial management dashboards' designed to consolidate a program's financial information into one source. In addition, we track and monitor actual expenditures against forecasted goals and reconcile to identify variances. Our team provides detailed lifecycle costs analysis to support initiative strategic planning, capital planning, and development of spend plans. These cost estimates directly support program planning and executive oversight. In support of the OMB's quest to adequately plan, budget, acquire, and manage capital assets, Acuity personnel are trained to offer support in the development and maintenance of the OMB Exhibit 300 and GSA capital planning processes.

Defense Travel System

Acuity supports the Departments initiative in implementing the Defense Travel System by providing all levels of sustaining support operations to include training, help desk, and desk-side support. We possess expert knowledge of travel regulations and client policies and guidelines and utilize these resources to ensure compliance and relevant distribution to users. In addition, our familiarity with the system allows for smooth business operations to include updating user profiles, routing user approving lists, verification of lines of accounting, and analysis of DTS generated reports and ledgers.
