We worked closely with the DON Office of Financial Management Operations (FMO) to implement a strategic, holistic approach for implementing an internal controls program in accordance with OMB Circular A-123 and in support the DON Integrated Risk Management (IRM) Strategy. We developed a Current State assessment of FMO’s business operations and identified Future State opportunities for improvement via current & future state analyses, risks assessments, and design and application of a cross-cutting risk management methodology. The streamlined policy and framework allowed identification and prioritization of FMO’s 60+ risks across 20 risk owners. Consequently, FMO Leadership had a comprehensive risk profile while enabling a clear line of sight into those risks that may prevent FMO from meeting its operational, reporting, and compliance objectives. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Financial Management and Comptroller) (OASN (FM&C)) adopted FMO’s risk management methodology for use across the DON.
For OASN (FM&C) FMR, we implemented MICP utilizing our proven five-phased internal control program approach we implemented previously at FMO. Through this approach, Iberia identified, assessed, and prioritized nine risks across three risk owners.
We collaborated with DASNs across OASN (FM&C) on the Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Strategic Implementation Review (SIR). We provided strategic observations and recommended corrective actions on the Navy ERP program management processes through our examination of over 500 system artifacts and conducted 21 stakeholder interviews. We performed the analysis using the Standard Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) approach. We grouped the SDLC activities into three categories: how the Navy ERP program was structured, how it is built, and how it has been deployed. During the review, we identified themes from existing documentation or interviews and evidence that would identify key areas for improvement. This was the most effective structure to demonstrate to leadership the complexity of the issues and the tradeoffs entailed in the recommendations.

We implemented an innovative data visualization solution to provide DON FMO leadership with high-quality, near real-time information to enable data-driven decision-making. The processes utilized by the Office of Financial Operations (FMO) to collect, aggregate, and analyze budget and contract data were highly manual and disparate, leading to an unclear decision-making framework and workforce inefficiencies. Additionally, silos limited the view of data leading to incomplete data sets and resulting in strategic decisions being based on inaccurate information. Our personnel worked with FMO to design and implement dashboards, interactive tools, data visualizations, and automation capabilities to provide FMO Leadership with high-quality information for data-driven decision-making. This approach included performing data source identification and integration, data cleansing and building data transparency, and deploying leading analytical and automation capabilities via Python scripts and other accelerators. Our approach resulted in the following improvements that ensured real-time data analytics and metrics could be accessed by FMO to spend less time preparing information, reducing workload by 4,000+ manual hours, and more time communicating and acting on data.

We implemented a tailored solution to advance the DON’s Improper Payment Information Act (IPIA) program while strengthening the timeliness and accuracy of the program’s annual Agency Financial Report inputs. The program had been self-identified as a material weakness due to a lack of governance and oversight, and the DON required processes, controls, and structure to reduce improper payments across the Department. The remediation effort included working with the client to clarify the requirements, perform root cause analysis, and leverage analytical tools & models to develop and implement mitigation strategies. Our approach resulted in formalized processes and policies, increased stakeholder buy-in, and the following improvements that ultimately led to remediating the program’s material weakness in FY22.
