1. SUMMARY

The NATO International Staff (IS) Office of Financial Control (OFC) is responsible for the management and implementation of financial and budgetary control systems for several NATO entities, primarily the NATO International Staff (IS) Civil Budget.

As the custodian of Member Nations' funds, the OFC provides reliable and value adding financial and procurement services in support of front-line Divisions, enabling them to achieve their objectives.

It works to comply with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and other best practices, including the management of enterprise risk.

The OFC is responsible for procurement, financial operations, budgeting and reporting for: NATO-IS; NATO-wide pension funds and related funds (currently: Defined Benefit Pension Scheme, Defined Contribution Pension Scheme (DCPS) and Retirees Medical Claims Fund (RMCF)); bodies and projects located at NATO HQ (currently NATO Naval Forces Sensors and Weapons Accuracy Check Site (FORACS), Munitions Safety Information Analysis Centre (MSIAC)); Extra-Budgetary and Trust Funds; and bilateral arrangements, including the Tax Reimbursement Agreement with the United States (U.S.).

The NATO-IS budget includes Brussels Headquarters operations as well as NATO Satellite Offices (NASOs).

Standards applicable to NATO in the finance area include the NATO Financial Regulations (NFRs), the NATO-IS Financial Rules and Procedures (FRPs), the IPSAS, the NATO Civilian Personnel Regulations (CPRs), and the NATO Code of Conduct.

NATO IS uses COSO as the reference framework for internal control systems.

The Office of Financial Control is organised around 6 functions, (1) Control, Accounting and Finance, (2) Treasury, (3) Procurement, (4) Missions, (5) ERP Competency Centre, and (6) Budget, Planning and Analysis, with a Front Office overseeing these functions.

The ERP Competency Centre (ERP CC) is responsible for providing directorship and oversight over user aspects of design, development, implementation, and operation of the ERP and other financial and procurement systems.
