Office of the Chief Financial Officer
The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), formerly the Office of the Comptroller, provides fiscal policy guidance and provides accounting, budget, financial and grants management, and claims collection services. OCFO consists of three divisions:
  • Budget, Planning, and Performance Division (formerly Office of Budget and Management Services)
  • Finance, Accounting, and Analysis Division
  • Grants Financial Management Division
These units work together to assess grantee and OJP financial management policies, procedures, and practices, and to contribute to overall financial integrity and the achievement of OJP-wide goals and objectives. Services include:
  • OJP annual budget preparation
  • Allocation and tracking of OJP funds
  • Implementation of the National Performance Review, Federal Managers’ Financial Integrity Act, Government Performance and Results Act, and other initiatives
  • Grantee financial monitoring
  • Audits
  • Technical/financial assistance to grantees and program offices
  • Site visits and compliance review
  • Financial management training to grantee and program offices
  • Financial management policy development and implementation
  • Financial reports preparation.
 
 
Office of the Comptroller Financial Guide
The OJP Financial Guide serves as a primary reference manual to assist award recipients in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility to safeguard grant funds and ensure funds are used for the purposes for which they were awarded.
 
State Administering Agencies
Many OJP formula grants are awarded directly to state governments, which then set priorities and allocate funds within that state. For more information on how a state intends to distribute formula grant funds, contact the administering state agency.
