Description
Monitor key control points for split-disbursement validation; flag missing approvals, SoD conflicts, late postings, or incomplete evidence before month-end close. The MVP would connect DTS, GTCC feeds, per diem rates, travel policy, routing lists, voucher documents and produce read-only recommendations for DTMO, DFAS Travel Pay, Component travel administrators.

Automation level / stage
continuous assurance
Expected benefit
More timely control issue detection, reduced repeat findings, stronger ongoing assurance.
Audit / financial statement impact
Expenses, obligations, advances, outlays
Controls / human review
Human review for unusual/high-dollar items; policy citations; audit logs; role-based access; periodic accuracy testing.
Data needed
DTS, GTCC feeds, per diem rates, travel policy, routing lists, voucher documents; master/reference data; audit logs; policy/control requirements; prior exceptions; relevant document evidence.
Possible metrics
control exceptions detected before close; SoD conflicts remediated; repeat findings reduced
MVP scope
Start with one Component/reporting entity and one subprocess (split-disbursement validation) for two close/audit cycles; read-only outputs first.
