MARITIME
ADMINISTRATION
Dear Mr. Thomas Slack and Ms. Eliza Hazard
This letter of appreciation regarding Mr. Richard Sutkowi1s
contribution to the up coming conversion of MARAD1s accounting
systems from the Departmental Accounting Financial Information
Systems (DAFIS) to DELPHI has been long overdue.
I must say that we have been very fortunate to have Richard as
MARAD's Technical Lead for this conversion project. His
masterful knowledge of DELPHI, proficient skill of conducting and
managing the project, keen vision of seeing customer's issues,
problems and needs, energetic in coordinating conversion team and
enthusiastic in delivering the product have impressed me and my
staff members. Above all, his first class caliber of services
has won the user's trust, reliability and satisfaction. With his
experience and knowledge in Oracle financial software and his
skill in dealing with customers and users, I believe that MARAD's
probability of success is greatly increased.
The conversion of MARAD's accounting systems will be no easy
task. Historically, MARAD came from the Department of Commerce
to DOT in '80. MARAD's financial functions are unique from other
DOT OAs. Other than general government accounting practices
(travel, contracts, etc.) MARAD's accounting systems are required
to track:
revolving funds involving cost and project accounting, and
intra-governmental reimbursable budget, advances and billing,
labor (payroll)distribution by cost and project,
pre and post credit reform guaranteed loan program for ship
financing, borrowing authority, present value based
estimation of future risk and tracking of cohort.
contract authority and liquidated authority of operation
differential subsidy,
war risk insurance fund,
fixed assets (vessels) and inventory of shipping operating
material & supplies,
administering U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and providing
assistance to the state merchant marine academies.
-  trust funds and research fund and
interface capability from fund control system and procurement
system to DAFIS (DELPHI)
The variety of MARAD's unique financial functions require key
personnel such as, Richard to be patient and care to listen,
understand and capable of analyzing the user's process and
environment. Which Richard did and he was also willing to run
the extra mile to bridge a solution or provide input to
reengineer the business process in a tight time frame.
Richard Sutkowi deserves recognition for a job well done.
Sincerely
John G Hoban
Director, Office of Accounting
