Accounting System Compliance for Non-AccountantsRobert E Jones

Many business owners admit accounting is about as foreign to them as any non-English language. Some have learned enough to survive a rudimentary conversation, while others have delegated responsibility to someone else. That someone else may not be properly trained in accounting or well-versed in the nuances of government contract accounting.
In government contracting, accounting is as important as the contract itself. In fact, the contract type dictates certain accounting requirements including invoice formats and status reports. If you’re performing work on a cost-reimbursable contract (any cost-type or time-and-material contract), you must have an approved accounting system.
Obtaining an approved accounting system means understanding the 14 items addressed in the SF 1408 Preaward Survey of Prospective Contractor Accounting System. The survey addresses segregation of costs, job costing, and timekeeping, among other topics. We walk through the SF 1408 providing practical guidance and insight into each requirement. You don’t have to be an accountant to understand this, but you need to
understand this to be successful in government contracting.

David Gerendas, Group Product Manager, Intel Security
Ray Potter, CEO of SafeLogic
With the advent of the cloud and the explosion of mobile endpoints, enterprises have increased their focus on maintaining data integrity and confidentiality from growing threats. As a result, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, a.k.a. FedRAMP, has taken on greater significance outside of federal deployments. By standardizing requirements and expectations, the program has set a strong benchmark for the entire cloud industry. In response to repeated security breaches that have damaged brands’ credibility, corporate mandates are now matching and even exceeding their government counterparts. If you are not FedRAMP compliant, enterprises demand to know why not.
The use of encryption is integral to FedRAMP and has become ubiquitous in the effort to protect information assets. But while certain crypto algorithms are often installed alone and unverified, customer expectations have risen in recent years. Enterprises certainly no longer accept homegrown cryptography from vendors, strongly preferring to rely upon solutions that have been vetted by third-party labs and validated by the government. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 is the leading international standard for encryption and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) was established to certify solutions that meet the stringent benchmark. In tandem, FedRAMP and FIPS offer the highest level of assurance for cloud buyers, but both are still generally misunderstood.
You will learn:
• What FedRAMP compliance entails
• Advantages of using a validated cryptographic module in the cloud
• How encryption modules become validated and the pitfalls of the process
• Meaning of FedRAMP compliance claims and how to confirm
• Right questions to ask vendors about their encryption and FedRAMP compliance
The document provides an overview of the FedRAMP program, which aims to standardize how federal agencies assess and authorize the use of cloud services. It establishes a "do once, use many times" framework to reduce duplication and costs. Key elements include a Concept of Operations, stakeholders like agencies and cloud service providers, a phased implementation approach, and processes for security assessments and leveraging provisional authorizations across agencies.

Bring your Shmoo Balls, we have some juicy opinions on how the federal government should vet cloud services. After going through the FedRAMP authorization process with multiple companies, we have grey hair, scars, and some things to say.
We’ll go through some systemic problems and flag some of those weird controls that have always bugged us, and then when we’ve finished airing our grievances we’ll dig into the tough stuff: what can possibly change? Should it change? Will r5 ever be fully adopted? Should FedRAMP continue to exist?

Architecting the Framework for Compliance & Risk Managementjadams6
Privacy and protection of personal information is a hot topic in data governance. However, the compliance challenge is in creating audit defensibility that ensures practices are compliant and performed in a way that is scalable, transparent, and defensible; thus creating “Audit Resilience.” Data practitioners often struggle with viewing the world from the auditor’s perspective. This presentation focuses on how to create the foundational governance framework supporting a data control model required to produce clean audit findings. These capabilities are critical in a world where due diligence and compliance with best practices are critical in addressing the impacts of security and privacy breaches. The companies in the news recently drive home these points.
TrustedAgent GRC streamlines the complexity of obtaining security authorization from FedRAMP for cloud IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services and applications.

The project to be implemented involves the development of Bank Management Software and entails the use of the waterfall model. Selecting a methodology is essential since it gives a framework of the overall process and associated project documents as well as the deliverables that will control the project development cycle from start to close. The waterfall model ensures that the development phases flow seamlessly and is subdivided into separate sequential stages where the result of the preceding phase becomes the input of the succeeding phase.
In the waterfall model, the development team moves through the stages of development. The phases include; Analysis, Requirements Specification, Design, Coding, and Implementation, Testing and integration. The sequence flow from one phase to another in a top to bottom fashion. Theoretically, all the requirements are initially specified as well as the scope of the project. The app is designed according to the requirements where it is implemented and tested devoid of any modifications. The final product is then delivered to the customer.
Development phases for the project include:
· Requirements gathering and elicitation where the system requirement objectives are met. The user requirements for the system will entail Financial / Management Accounting, Treasury and Risk Management as well as Bank Communication Management.
· The system design phase will enable proper determination of the hardware and software requirements that describes the entire system architecture.
· The Implementation phase involves the development of application modules which are tested separately to establish their functionality.
· The Integration and Testing phase will entail the integration of the individual modules into a single system which is then tested as a single system. Also, user acceptance testing is done at this phase
· System implementation phase. This phase follows the successful integration and testing phase where it is deployed.
· The maintenance phase occurs after the system is implemented to correct or add new modules to meet customer’s changing needs or scope creep.

FedRAMP Accelerated: An Update with GSA & cloud.gov | AWS Public Sector Summi...Amazon Web Services
A year ago, FedRAMP introduced a redesigned authorization process called FedRAMP Accelerated. This new authorization process was developed to shorten the authorization timeframe to less than six months and increase the delivery of more federal cloud solution workloads. As soon as FedRAMP Accelerated launched, the US General Services Administration (GSA) used this new redesign to advance cloud.gov, which runs on AWS GovCloud (US). It is now the first fully open source FedRAMP solution that has achieved a Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO) at the moderate impact level from the FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board (JAB). With cloud.gov, government agencies can: (1) Quickly deploy applications that comply with federal policies — without needing to manage infrastructure. (2) Run scalable cloud-native applications. (3) Try experiments: build and test prototypes without adding extra expense. (4) Shorten the path to ATO (Authority to Operate) for applications hosted on cloud.gov. Applications inherit the compliance of the cloud.gov P-ATO, so only the applications need to be comprehensively assessed to receive ATO. Come learn about cloud.gov and how it can help your agency. Listen to best practices and how they worked with FedRAMP through the FedRAMP Accelerated process. Learn More: https://aws.amazon.com/government-education/
