I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e Obligations & Expenditures: What NOT to Say Know your goals…Congressional Staffers, OSD Comptroller and AQXR all know them and judge you against them from Day 1 The following excuses/reasons for under-execution are considered whining in DC: CRA prevented me from obligating as much as I planned The AF didn't release all the CRA to me I requested The AF hasn't released funds to me yet, even though Congress passed the appropriation 60 (90, etc) days ago. My program has too many contracting actions to complete and not enough contracting staff. 7 FM, PK and PM need to have realistic contract award schedules and strong communication to keep obs/exp on plan
