The Automated Field Accounting Systems for Managers is a two-day spin-off
of the five-day Field Accounting Systems Course (FAS). The five-day course
concentrates on skills development for Operations Support Assistants and Admin
Officers departing to overseas assignments. The first day and a half of the
new two-day course was given to 7 Directorate of Operations Budget and Finance
Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs and 4 OIG/Audit Staff officers. Sixteen officers
attended the last half day, which focuses on the new automated field system,
STARS (Stations Accounting and Reporting System), which will gradually replace
FAS in the field beginning next year. The average overall rating of this new
course was 4.4 on a five point scale. One B&F Chief wrote, Without a doubt,
this was the best finance course that I have attended.
The first running of the Office of Finance Orientation was attended by 23
Finance and OIG/Audit Staff EODs. The course went very well but needs to be
reorganized based on information gained from the student critiques, guest
speaker suggestions, and instructor review. The average overall rating was 4.1
on a five point scale. There were no problems with the content, but the flow
needs to be adjusted. The course ran from 0830 until 1630 and many of the
students commented negatively on the long hours. The course incorporated two
exercises to test the students' ability to incorporate what they had learned
and to increase their knowledge of the financial references.

her willingness to accommodate the groups in a screened off

Brookings, and adding special touches such as tablecloths and
flowers on the tables. The briefing portion of the Brookings
