Investment Description

DEAMS is a Joint United States Air Force (USAF) and United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Program that replace many existing accounting and finance legacy systems and provides core funds execution management functions consistent with financial management laws, regulations and policy, general ledger, funds management, payments, receivables, cost and revenues, and fiduciary reporting. As a fully deployed system, DEAMS is the key toward Air Force compliance with the Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) requirements. DEAMS Continuous Capability Development (CCD) is implemented utilizing an agile software methodology. CCD continues integrating disparate financial management business systems with DEAMS. This effort allows continuous enhancements to provide the core accounting and reporting functionality necessary to enable deployment of modernized personnel, contracting, and logistics systems. Additional capabilities under requirements definition include complex acquisition management, reimbursable cost accounting, military entitlement accounting, advanced accounting controls and audit sustainment, treasury cash accountability, and management accounting and billing for revolving funds.
