What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 931 of PE 0605027D8Z. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
In FY 2027, the program will accelerate its modernization by leveraging AI and automation to enhance audit remediation efforts and drive financial transformation. A primary focus will be evolving the Universe of Transactions (UoT) into a more integrated, AI-driven solution, which includes designing new data architecture, creating automated reconciliation algorithms, and implementing AI-powered variance analysis tools. This initiative supports key modernization efforts, such as the advancements of the Intra-Governmental Transactions (IGT), Fund Balance with Treasury (FBwT), and financial reporting reconciliations, while simultaneously enabling the retirement of high-risk legacy financial systems. This will empower the OUSW(C) to sustain critical investments to support the essential data engineering required for reliable data pipelines, preventing inconsistencies that could undermine audit readiness. Collectively, these actions—along with upgrades to systems—will propel the Department toward a secure, centralized, ERP-centric environment, positioning it to successfully meet its FY 2028 audit objectives.
The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects the Department’s accelerated transition to a modern, secure, and audit ready financial management environment. It supports accelerated legacy system retirement, expansion of automation and AI enabled internal controls, and the sustainment and completion of key modernization efforts such as the deployment of new software capabilities that will be used to advance Advana for FM. This will strengthen data quality, interoperability, and system reconciliations to meet FY 2028 audit objectives.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 250.0 |
This activity is 100% of project 931's FY2027 request and 91% of PE 0605027D8Z's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.
