The Office of the Chief Financial Officer within the Department of Energy has integrated Infor Risk and Compliance, a commercial off the shelf software, with its Oracle Federal Financials STARS and G-Invoicing systems to strengthen financial governance and internal controls. This integration enables the automation and monitoring of business processes through standardized and DOE-specific rules, allowing for the documentation of workflows, identification of control objectives, and enforcement of segregation of duties in alignment with federal financial standards. The system supports dynamic user management including provisioning, removal, and temporary lockouts based on organizational needs or specified timeframes, ensuring access is granted only to authorized personnel. It also provides robust transaction controls to ensure all financial activities comply with DOE business rules and regulatory requirements, while enabling configuration controls to adapt system settings as needs evolve. Data can be pulled and applied from external systems to maintain consistency across platforms, and user access controls are tightly aligned with organizational policies to minimize risk of fraud or error. The solution is designed to support the DOE’s operational integrity by embedding compliance into daily financial operations through automated checks and configurable safeguards, with implementation focused in the District of Columbia and intended to leverage small business participation under the NAICS code 511199.
