The General Ledger Reporting Branch B manages the preparation of reports on NOAA's
financial data and accounting operations relative to funds management specifically for all
other NOAA funds (other than Credit Reform or Other Loan-related Appropriations),
including cross-servicing activities to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and all
of NOAA’s other general, special and revolving funds. 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.
