Continue the system modernization efforts that provide VA with the capability to generate the required DATA Act reporting files containing the necessary elements to meet compliance with the DATA Act. Ensure the modernization will provide the following: a. Accurate reporting of object class, program activity codes, program activity names, and all other elements required by the DATA Act. b. Award identification to allow VA to be able to develop a File C and reconcile the File C to both summary level data (Files A and B) and award level data (File D). c. Reconciliations with subsidiary systems. d. A mechanism to ensure transactions are reported that currently may be excluded due to the use of 1358s. e. Standardized data fields to allow management to record an award ID across financial and supporting systems. f. Subsidiary systems that are consistent with USSGL or adequately mapped to USSGL to ensure transactions contain the necessary data elements/field required to meet DATA Act reporting. g. Differentiation between direct and reimbursable amounts.
