E-Mail ALSPO message J/12 announces the implementation of Direct Access I (Ver. 8.0) software changes for improved internal controls for processing disciplinary actions.
Direct Access (DA) pay and personnel transaction software functionality, policies, and procedures were reviewed as part of the USCG management's internal control assessment. An outcome of the review was a recommendation to segregate the user roles for certain pay and personnel transactions so a person who initiates the transaction is not the person that reviews and approves the transaction.
Video tutorials demonstrating the routing for approval process (for HRS role users) and the approval process (for CGHRSUP role users) are available on PPC's Internet web site at: http://www.uscg.mil/ppc/multimedia.asp#spo
