The General Ledger Reporting Branch A manages the
preparation of reports on NOAA's financial data and accounting operations relative to
funds management specifically for NOAA’s Operations, Research, and Facilities (ORF)
and Credit Reform Appropriations as well as provides cross-servicing to the Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS). Such funds management includes analysis and maintenance of
general ledger controls for financial data. It
maintains control of financial reports and accounting operations relating to funds
management by reconciling, controlling, and reporting transactions affecting NOAA's
subsidiary and general ledgers. The Branch
prepares internal and external accounting and financial reports which meet statutory and
regulatory requirements (i.e., Reports on Budget Execution and Treasury’s FACTS II). The Branch provides liaison with the NOAA program
offices for day-to-day operational accounting procedures, guidance, and reports. It maintains liaison with the Department of the
Treasury, NOAA Line/Staff Offices, and other counterparts regarding accounting transaction
processing and funds management. The Branch
helps ensure compliance with Federal accounting standards and policies of NOAA, the
Department of Commerce, the Office of Management and Budget, the General Accounting
Office, the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board, and other regulatory agencies. The Branch establishes and maintains controls which
include establishing opening cash balances and providing for the recordation and
reconciliation of warrants, apportionments, allotments, transfers, reclassifications, and
other miscellaneous documents impacting funds control.
