8 New Users in PCOLS 2.Enterprise Monitoring & Management of Accounts (EMMA)

9 EMMA Enterprise Monitoring and Management of Accounts (EMMA) Electronically captures the Government Purchase Card (GPC) hierarchy The hierarchy incorporates Supervisors into the program Used to provision users into roles in a hierarchy Uses the Common Access Card (CAC) to link an individual to a role Other systems, such as AIM, use the roles in EMMA to grant permissions within the applications Enables various maintenance actions to be performed Add, review, update and remove an organization Add and remove a role Add, remove, and view a user EMMA Authorization, Issuance & Maintenance (AIM) Data Mining / Risk Assessment (DM/RA) PCOLS Reporting 9 Other Applications? (i.e., future development)

10 EMMA FAQ How many users can be provisioned per role within a given EMMA organization? EMMA currently allows for the following number of users per role within a given organization: Role Name # of users Role Name # of users AEA - Level 2 10 Component RM 10 HCA Agent - Level 3 10 Major RM 10 High-Level A/OPC 30 Intermediate RM 10 A/OPC Supervisor 30 RM Supervisor 1 A/OPC 30 RM 3 A/BO Supervisor 5 RM Pool 100 A/BO 100 Cardholders Supervisor 100

11 EMMA FAQ Do I have to include supervisors in my EMMA organization? Yes. Supervisors within a GPC organization have always been designated with the responsibility to provide supervisory oversight for their GPC organizations. PCOLS provides a level of rigor in the system to ensure that supervisors are involved to the degree required. The Cardholders Supervisor and A/BO Supervisor are necessary to ensure successful AIM workflow operations and possess responsibility for supervisory oversight within their GPC organizations. 11

12 EMMA FAQ Why am I receiving s from PCOLS_noreply@dmdc.osd.mil? Currently, all PCOLS system messages originate from PCOLS_noreply@dmdc.osd. mil and many of these require the recipient to take specific actions (e.g., EMMA and AIM token messages). Please ensure that all Purchase Card personnel are aware that these messages are completely safe and should be thoroughly read and acted upon, as appropriate. User.name@ .mil 12

13 EMMA FAQ What roles do not have log-in access to EMMA? Cardholders Supervisors and Resource Manager Pool Members do not have log-in access to EMMA but must be provisioned in EMMA by accepting their EMMA tokens. Cardholders do not have log-in access to EMMA and are not provisioned in EMMA. Cardholders are tied to specific Cardholder Accounts in AIM. 13

14 New Users in PCOLS 3. Authorization, Issuance and Maintenance (AIM)

15 AIM Authorization, Issuance and Maintenance (AIM) System is a workflow tool used to migrate, issue and maintain Managing Accounts (MA) and Cardholder Accounts (CA) Assigns roles and responsibilities to persons identified in EMMA Live Interface with the (currently) two banks Receives daily feeds from the bank systems Standardizes the work flow processes of issuing and maintaining GPC accounts Stores account information 15

16 A/OPC Profile A/OPCs must enter the following in their profile: Department of Defense Activity Address Codes (DoDAACs) Bank login IDs Total Business Reporting (TBR) Hierarchies All users see Your User Information section This information is pulled from your CAC certificates and the DEERS database New Feature This section is seen by all users in AIM, except for the Cardholder

17 Account Migration Process Step 1: A/OPC initiates Account Migration The A/OPC will access the Account Migration tab in AIM and identify the Agent Numbers (US Bank) or TBR Hierarchies (Citibank) associated with the accounts that they wish to migrate to AIM Step 2: Initiate Managing Account Workflow in AIM When the next weekly batch file is processed from the bank, a workflow is started for each Managing Account with the identified Agent Number or TBR hierarchy, an is sent by the system to the A/OPCs (all A/OPCs with the Agent Number or TBR Hierarchy), and a task is assigned for the first step of the workflow All data received from the bank is read-only to users in the workflow The purpose of the workflow is to associate responsible individuals to the account and add AIM-only data Step 3: Managing Account is Activated after completion of Workflow Step 4: Initiate Cardholder Account Workflow in AIM Upon activation of a Managing Account, a workflow will be started for each associated Cardholder Account with an and task to the A/OPC Step 5: Cardholder Account is Activated after completion of Workflow 17

18 Account Migration - A/OPC Initiation The A/OPC checks the Agent Numbers or TBR Hierarchies associated with the accounts that they wish to migrate to AIM and clicks Initiate Account Migration. Note: Once initiated, workflow cannot be stopped. 18

19 Managing Account Migration Tab A list of accounts that are in migration workflow will be available to the A/OPC through the Account Migration tab. From the list, the A/OPC can view the details of the account. Note: A/OPC action will occur through tasks on the Task Inbox. 19

20 Account Migration Tasks The Account Migration workflow will generate s and tasks similar to those for account creation and maintenance Actions on account migration will occur by selecting the task from the Task Inbox 20

21 Managing Account Migration A/OPC The A/OPC receives a task and notifying them of such A/OPC enters the Office Name and Justification A/OPC enters the RM address A/OPC must select the appropriate A/OPC organization 21

22 Managing Account Migration A/OPC (cont d) The A/OPC selects the appropriate A/BO Supervisor in the appropriate A/BO Supervisor Organization A/OPC identifies Primary and Alternate A/BOs in the appropriate A/BO Organization 22

23 AIM Account Migration Summary Once migration is started for accounts within an Agent Number or TBR Hierarchy, this migration cannot be turned off Workflow is required for each account to associate the responsible individuals and enter AIM-only data Cardholder Nomination Token Redemption interactive training at: Bank-provided data cannot be updated during the migration workflow Any updates can be done after activation in AIM or through the bank system Account Migration workflow is started during the processing of a weekly file from the banks Only accounts associated with the Agent Number or TBR Hierarchy activated on the Account Migration tab will be migrated Once accounts are activated in AIM, all maintenance can be performed through AIM 23

28 AIM FAQ Why do I need to update my profile in AIM? AIM uses the personal data from your Common Access Card (CAC) and the DEERS database that allows it to function as designed. This information is displayed on the AIM profile tab. Important information that users should verify on the AIM Profile tab: address associated with CAC Work address stored in DEERS Notification messages and task s are sent to the address associated with your CAC. If the address is incorrect, the notifications will not be received, which could delay required task actions. A/OPCs, A/BOs, and Cardholders are required to verify their work address to ensure successful delivery of any requested Purchase Cards or convenience checks. The work address field must be populated and will be verified with the United States Postal Service to ensure that it is valid. 28

29 AIM FAQ Where do I obtain verification that required training has been completed? Currently, verification is accomplished by the A/OPC receiving the appropriate hardcopy certifications. In the future it is anticipated that training certification from Defense Acquisition University (DAU) will be automatically linked to AIM. 29

30 AIM FAQ What is the difference between an Office Name and an Organization Name in AIM? The Office Name in AIM is used as another method (such as account number) to identify individual Managing and Cardholder Accounts. The name is specific to the AIM application and should not be used as a substitute for the account number when communicating with the bank. The Organization Name in AIM is imprinted on the Purchase Card and appears on the billing statement for the account. The AIM Organization Name is not to be confused with the EMMA Organization Name, which is used to associate a user in a hierarchical structure. It is recommended that the Office Name be unique for each account in AIM in order to identify accounts by the Office Name. For instance, if you have multiple Purchase Cards and do not remember the account number you can reference the Office Name instead. 30

31 AIM FAQ As an A/OPC, am I giving up control in my organization by using AIM? No. The A/OPC has the final oversight and approval responsibility. In AIM, the A/OPC reviews and approves all requests prior to submitting them to the bank. AIM uses the Purchase Card hierarchy defined in EMMA to assign specific responsibilities and tasks to designated roles within the GPC organization. In some organizations, A/OPCs have traditionally accomplished all or most of these actions themselves. By distributing specific tasks to other GPC organization members, an enhanced level of situational awareness and supervisory oversight can be attained, improving management control of the entire organization. 31

32 AIM FAQ Does PCOLS have the ability to attach training certificates and/or appointment letters to an account request to send to the bank? No. PCOLS does not have the ability to attach a document to any request transmitted to the bank. You should keep a file copy of the letters of appointment or any other documentation. 32

33 AIM FAQ As a Cardholder, how do I log-in to AIM? A Cardholder does not have log-in access to AIM. The only way a Cardholder can interface with AIM is through the use of an AIM Cardholder Nomination Token. This token is assigned by the Approving / Billing Official (A/BO) and will be delivered to the Cardholder via an message. Once received, an AIM Cardholder Nomination Token can only be used once. All future attempts to click on the token-embedded link will result in an Expired Token error message. If a Cardholder does not successfully complete the Cardholder Nomination in AIM after clicking on the token, the Cardholder must contact his or her Approving / Billing Official (A/BO) or Agency / Organization Program Coordinator (A/OPC) to obtain a new AIM Cardholder Nomination Token. 33

34 AIM FAQ Does an always accompany a task? Yes. An is the sole notification mechanism to alert individuals involved in the AIM workflow process that a task awaits their attention. In addition, there are occasions when a notification without an associated task is sent to involved individuals in the workflow process. 34

40 Data Mining Overview Data Mining Application Reviews 100% of the purchase card transactions. Each transaction is assigned a score by the Risk Predictive Model. High risk transactions and a statistically based sample of random transactions are referred for review. The Case Manager interprets the referred transactions and creates specific cases that are assigned to the Approving/Billing Officials for review. Through the use of the Case Manager Interview Process, the A/BO demonstrates that due diligence is exercised in the review of the referred transactions. The interview process (questions) records information related to the data provided to support the validity of the purchase card transaction. 40

41 Risk Assessment Overview Risk Assessment Allows users to analyze risk and report on the health of an organization s purchase card program RA Components Controls: Risk indicators for which exceptions that exceed predetermined thresholds are monitored. Dashboards: The primary component that assesses the risk of the purchase card program for each individual control and cumulative risk assessment for the overall hierarchical level calculated based on each individual control s risk assessment. Quarterly Reports: Provide a three cycle, side-by-side snapshot of the controls exceptions. 41
