Corps of Engineers Financial Management System (CEFMS) II

CEFMS II modernization will streamline business processes, improve financial visibility of project execution, improve decision making with timely and reliable dashboard information at a glance and analytical capabilities and provide a more efficient workforce with improved performance and mobile applications. CEFMS II internal USACE customers include all civilian employees of the Corps of Engineers (COE) and all active duty military personnel currently assigned to the COE. CEFMS II is used to record Time & Attendance for all civilian employees, is used to prepare and approve travel orders and process travel claims for all USACE employees (civilian and active duty military). CEFMS II is also the point-of-entry for all financial actions on all projects and programs worked on and administered by USACE personnel. Project managers are able to obtain 'real time' information on total funds authorized for their projects, funds available for obligation, and financial status of contract actions in support of those projects. Program managers who oversee a number of projects within a district, region, or Corps-wide can also access any one of the 62 USACE databases for 'real time' information. Federal customers include Department of Energy, FEMA, Department of Justice, Immigration & Naturalization Service,and many other Federal agencies and departments outside the Department of Defense. Because the Corps does work for all of these Federal agencies on a 'reimbursable' basis, the agencies depend on the accuracy and reliability of monthly bills, which are supported by actual costs recorded and maintained in CEFMS II. CEFMS II supports foreign governments through the recordation of obligations, costs, and disbursements and summary financial reports for the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. Other CEFMS customers include private sector contractors who support our missions. CEFMS II is used to record private sector contracts, contractor invoices, and process contract payments, including Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) payments. CEFMS also supports state/local entities with whom we partner on projects like levee maintenance and flood control/abatement construction. CEFMS II is used to record and track the 'Government' and 'Cost Share Partner' portions of these projects that are jointly funded, and subject to congressionally mandated cost share percentages.CEFMS II provides reliable and timely financial information for managing USACE financial operations and has been instrumental in enabling USACE to successfully receive Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Audit unqualified opinions from the DoD Inspector General.
