Audit of DNFSB’s Compliance with the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act)

Develop, document, and implement DATA Act policies and procedures to:
a. Create a system of internal controls that allows DNFSB to publish more reliable and timely account-level and award-level data on USAspending.gov.
b. Ensure the submission of DNFSB's Senior Accountable Official statement of assurance with the quarterly Broker submission. This process should include documentation for a system to develop, review, and approve (when such statements are required) any categorical explanations for misalignments of the data reported for display on USAspending.gov.
c. Define the mapping between agency specific data elements within Pegasys to the DATA Act Schema (57 elements).
d. Define the workflow for addressing validation errors and revisions, including identifying the people and systems necessary to make changes to the data prior to submittal to the Broker, in coordination with the USDA.
e. Define the role of the USDA FSSP in any migration or change to information systems supporting Broker submissions in coordination with the USDA.
f. Define alignment of files A through F and the cross-file linkages and cross-file calculations including documentation of systems, processes and policies for each element.
g. Define the process to create consistent and proper handling of data across DNFSB including establishing internal roles and responsibilities and identifying the people and systems necessary to make changes to the data prior to Broker submittal.
