Expired Funds Closeout
The DGSOM Controller's Office serves as liaison between departments and EFM as part of the Expired Funds Closeout Project. We coordinate support to improve processes regarding timely closure of expired funds and financial deliverables by our departments within the DGSOM.
- Expired Funds Dashboard - A compliance dashboard is published each month with information regarding expired funds. This dashboard details expired funds for each DGSOM department, the risk category assigned to each fund, as well as a tracking of our expedited funds project. Access to this dashboard is available only to CAOs and CFOs. Please request access by emailing the contact listed below.
- Finance Manager Meeting Presentations - The DGSOM Controller's Office presents an update at the Monthly Finance Manager Meeting regarding expired funds. Statistics for the prior month are shared, along with upcoming deadlines for fund closure and any other relevant information.
