What does FIAR stand for?

The department's latest Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness Plan, for example, projects that the required CFO balance sheets will not be "audit ready" before 2017 and makes no projections at all about when the required income statements (4) will be ready beyond that point (DoD, 2009).

This family of plans includes both enterprise-wide planning documents, such as the Quadrennial Defense Review, and functional business transformation plans, such as the supply chain management improvement and the financial improvement and audit readiness plans.

The FIP is the service component of DoD's Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness effort and is dependent on the DON element of the DoD Enterprise Transition Plan that maps current systems into the future architecture.
