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 Credit Reform and Other Loan-related
Appropriations. 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.
