USA-National Institute of Standards and Technology USA-NIST plays a variety of roles in support of voluntary standardization efforts that respond to market and industry needs. We provide technical expertise and facilitate private sector agreement. In addition, NIST supports trade agreements by helping to build the underlying conformity-assessment infrastructure necessary to harmonize standards and regulatory requirements across borders. We also coordinate federal agencies’ use of voluntary standards.

Financial Management Enterprise Architecture (FMEA)
In July 2001, The DoD established the Financial Management Modernization Program (FMMP), the most comprehensive and ambitious DoD-wide reform initiative of its kind. Just as the Department is transforming our nation's military forces, so is it also modernizing the business and financial processes and systems to deliver reliable and accurate information for timely decision-making. In this way, the Department will not only benefit from greater efficiency, but also apply the resources saved directly to our war fighting capability. Excerpt: “The Department of Defense will be managed in an efficient, business-like manner, in which accurate, reliable, and timely financial information, affirmed by clean audit opinions, is available on a routine basis to support informed decision-making at all levels throughout the Department.”
