High Level Coordination of ABC Implementation • Established internal ABC Steering Committee • Conducted presentations for leadership • Engaged key players from budget, finance, GPRA and program areas as well as functional and systems staff • Developed work plan, set up pilots and conducted ongoing meetings to link Reclamation costs to ABC activities
High Level Coordination of ABC Implementation • Consulted with other bureaus on their implementation efforts • Developed framework (Budget & Performance Integration Matrix) for linking Strategic Plan, ABC, PART, programs and budget within BOR • Reclamation-wide communication of ABC effort and review of ABC broadcast and training video • Ongoing ABC communication network in place
Current Status • ABC fully implemented within BOR • Crosswalk completed; extract file forwarded to CALIBRE • Process in place for coding new accounts • Quality Assurance process in place to ensure integrity of information • Outputs are being defined to meet BOR’s needs. Proposal for populating performance measures has been developed
Approach • Long history of direct charging labor costs to work activities • DOI activities populated through crosswalks • Time is charged to 18-digit code through T&A system; FFS file is married to crosswalk file at month end and resulting file is sent to DOI • Linkage between over 150,000 cost accounts and ABC activities • Cost accounts align well with ABC activities • Regional coding workshops with budget staff to ensure consistency and accuracy
Implementation Issues • Outputs: More guidance from DOI is needed. -- Proposed process for outputs??? -- When will common outputs be defined??? -- When will DOI system be ready to collect outputs???
Implementation Issues • Performance Measures: -- Disconnect between Strategic Plan and ABC activities --- (e.g.) Serving Communities (Cultural Resource) measures have no corresponding ABC activities Result: Cannot code all $$$$ until this is resolved
Next Steps What’s next????????
