Performed full range of budget management functions by serving my department in handling an annual budget
of approximately $30 million, allocated for travel-related accounts. Funds were utilized to support travel
expenses incurred by Federal Air Marshals, a reported amount of about $9 million, on a quarterly basis, to the
various fund control points, to cover airline tickets, hotel accommodations, and the rental of vehicles.
Excel spreadsheets were created to monitor expense reports and to compare entries in the Agency’s Trial-
Balance System on a daily basis, which allowed erroneous entries to be identified and corrected in a timely
manner. Management tools were also used to clear migration balances in affected appropriations to
preserve accurate reporting of financial statements.
To maintain transparency and accurate representation of each appropriation, audits were performed on
travel expense vouchers, which included preparing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting accounting data
of entries, particularly those associated with FMS 2108: Year-End Closing Statement.
