Continuous Monitoring Program (CMP) 1.1 Overview 1.1.1 This chapter sets forth requirements regarding CMP activities that are required to be performed for all NASA Centers for their associated
11、 Business Areas. These activities consist of the review and analysis of NASAs financial data to identify inaccurate data, abnormal balances, account relationship differences, and other financial reporting anomalies. Specific procedures or control activities are provided within the FMOP or CMP. 1.1.2
12、 NASA is to ensure that various tools and methods are used to thoroughly analyze and review the financial data reported both internally and externally. Our financial data is important in making mission critical decisions to ensure adequate resources are available and properly used. To ensure the mos
13、t accurate financial data, NASAs accountants, and financial managers shall institute a rigorous and comprehensive review and analysis process. 1.1.3 Upon completion of the review and analysis of the financial data, each NASA Center Chief Financial Officer shall ascertain these reviews have been cond
14、ucted and certify that all required reconciliation procedures have been performed. A resolution plan should be prepared for exceptions and unreconciled differences that require an explanation. 1.2 CMP Objectives 1.2.1 The CMP provides an overall framework of management controls that NASA uses to ass
15、ess and evaluate: c. Internal controls. d. Compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). e. Evidence that balances and activity reported in its financial statements are auditable, accurate, and complete. 1.2.2 The CMP is used to ensure that errors and/or discrepancies are identifi
16、ed, tracked, and corrected in a timely manner. It also ensures that there are ongoing management reviews and validations of financial data and internal controls. The reconciliations/work papers for each control activity are maintained as documentation and evidence the activity was performed. The doc
17、umentation contains the source of the information provided, including the title of reports and report description when available. Supporting documents for the reconciliations are maintained at the Centers/Agency/ NASA Shared Services Centers (NSSC) and accessible on request. The CMP can be found on
18、the Agency Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) Web site at http:/www1.nasa.gov/offices/ocfo/nasaonly/cmp.html. 1.3 CMP Contents 1.3.1 The chapters in the CMP are designed to capture control activities for entire business processes for specific accounts. As a result, each chapter may address
19、 multiple related line items in the financial statements. Each chapter also includes the proprietary and budgetary accounts Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-6 that relate to the business process. For example, the CMP chapter for accoun
20、ts receivable includes proprietary and budgetary receivables, revenues, and customer advances because all of these transactional events are generated within the accounts receivable business process. 1.3.2 The CMP includes the following: 1.3.2.1 Financial statement line item reference. References all
21、 basic financial statement lines that are supported by the section. 1.3.2.2 General ledger accounts reference. Lists proprietary accounts with related budgetary accounts (the budgetary accounts are indented to show the relationships). 1.3.2.3 Management assertions. All management assertions for the
22、financial statement line items are listed. 1.3.2.4 Control objective (for each section and entire document). The objective is provided to detect misstatements in significant financial statement/reporting assertions and Required Supplementary Stewardship Information. 1.3.2.5 Financial reporting objec
23、tives. The list includes the GAAP financial reporting objectives that the control activities support. 1.3.2.6 Control activities. Defines and sets standards for all control activities that collectively support the management assertions/control objective and financial reporting objective for the sect
24、ion. Each control activity is assigned a number related to the CMP chapter and a brief description. The standards for each activity are defined as follows: 1.3.2.6.1 Purpose of reconciliation. Describes why the reconciliation is performed. Explanations are provided if there is some unique aspect of
25、this activity. 1.3.2.6.2 Frequency. Includes information on how often reconciliation is performed (daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly). Some more in depth data analysis/review activities are scheduled to allow extended periods for performing the activity before quarterly reporting. 1.3.2.6.3 Roles and R
26、esponsibilities (Control Activities). a. Centers are responsible for preparing and approving the control activities that they perform. Centers are also responsible for the analytical review and approval of control activities performed by the NSSC and Control Activity Certifications prepared by the N
27、SSC. The NSSC is responsible for providing and performing activities listed in the CMP Appendix. b. Agency OCFO Financial Management Division is responsible for reviewing specific NASA consolidated activities listed in the CMP Appendix. Business Area 01 is not reported as a Center. It is currently u
28、sed to report some Agency-level data, such as depreciation, imputed cost, and warrants (All CMP activities related to Business Area 01 will be handled by the Agency OCFO). Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-7 1.3.2.6.4 Procedures/data so
29、urces. This section provides information on the standard data sources that are to be used for the control activity. It also provides the transaction codes all Centers are expected to use in order to ensure that all results are based on consistent data. a. External data source. If an external data so
30、urce (i.e. Treasury reported confirmations) is needed, it is listed. b. Transaction code. Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP) and/or Business Warehouse (BW) transaction codes are included. c. Transaction description. Description of the transaction(s) used. d.

31、ds to be analyzed. Generally either year to date (one-current) or inception to date (zero-current) periods apply. e. Other selection criteria. Selection attributes for the reports (i.e. accounts, fund type). f. Analysis/review procedure to be performed. This section states the procedure to be perfor
32、med. 1.3.2.6.5 Standards. What is expected (i.e. no reconciliation differences). 1.3.2.6.6 Thresholds for differences/exceptions. Thresholds represent the absolute cumulative value of differences at the account, fund level and trading partner level (for vendor/customer related accounts) within a bus
33、iness area. (These are performance measures). Thresholds for month end, quarter end and year end differences are provided. 1.3.2.6.7 Valid Reconciling Items/Permanent Items. Also listed are known conditions that may exist temporarily or permanently, causing a difference when executing a control acti
34、vity. The listed conditions do not result in a significant exception for reporting purposes.
