10.1.1 - Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982 (FMFIA)
(Rev. 308, Issued: 10-26-18 Effective: 09- 01- 18, Implementation: 11-27-18)
The FMFIA requires that internal accounting and administrative controls of each executive agency be
established in accordance with the standards prescribed by the Comptroller General. Under FMFIA, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) establishes guidelines for agencies to evaluate their systems of
internal accounting and administrative control to determine such systems' compliance with the standards
established by the Comptroller General.
Under the prescribed standards of the FMFIA, agencies must provide reasonable assurance to the President
and Congress on an annual basis that:
1. Obligations and costs are in compliance with applicable law;
2. Funds, property, and other assets are safeguarded against waste, loss, unauthorized use, or
misappropriation; and
3. Revenues and expenditures applicable to agency operations are properly recorded and accounted for
to permit the preparation of accounts, reliable financial and statistical reports, and to maintain
accountability over the assets.
