LEC staff served as a strategic partner to assist with a review of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) processing associated with Treasury's On-line Payments and Collections (OPAC) System and Treasury's web-based Intergovernmental Payments and Collections (IPAC) System. The objectives of the review were to assess the adequacy of the reconciliation of OPAC activity upon closure of the system by Treasury, evaluate controls over the new IPAC process, determine DFAS' compliance with Treasury established policies, procedures and guidance applicable to IPAC, and establish baseline information for benchmarking and documenting DFAS "best practices" applicable to IPAC processing. LEC staff also participated in Internal Review's team meetings, provided lessons learned, utilized TeamMate software to record audit steps, developed action plans for business process improvements, draft reports, developed recommendations to improve operations and processes, and developed an acceptable plan of action to correct noted deficiencies.
