C5.4. FMS CASE CLOSURE REPORTING
C5.4.1. Goals and Objectives for Case Closure. Annual goals and objectives are established to track closure progress in order to ensure case closure remains a priority, that appropriate resources are being allocated to carry out case closure policy, and to report case closure progress to the purchasers and senior management. These goals and objectives are established annually by the Performance Measurement Senior Working Group (PMSWG) and the IA's. The IA's goals are based on the Supply Service Complete (SSC) case inventory, available resources, and workload. The PMSWG sets goals for the FMS community as a whole.
C5.4.2. DSCA(Q)1238 "FMS Case Closure Status Report". The DSCA(Q)1238 report is the vehicle used to report the data required to track closure progress on a quarterly basis. This report is due to DSCA/DBO/FPIO by the 10th working day of the month following the end of each quarter. Figure C5.F3. on the following pages, is the template for the DSCA(Q)1238 report.

C5.4.3. Performance Measurements. Performance in closing cases is measured at the highest levels within the USG's FMS community. The Security Cooperation Deputies Forum (SCDF) is a primary oversight component. The SCDF is chaired by the DSCA Deputy Director, and includes senior representatives from the IAs, DFAS, DCMA, and the Foreign Procurement Group. Currently the following closure performance measurements are provided at each quarterly SCDF briefing:
C5.4.3.1. The number of SSC cases versus total open cases.
C5.4.3.2. The number of SSC cases over 2 years old versus the total number of SSC cases.
C5.4.3.3. The number of cases closed versus cases eligible for closure.
C5.4.4. DFAS Indianapolis (DFAS-IN) Closure Statistics. DFAS-IN is responsible for supplying case closures statistics at the end of each quarter to DSCA/DBO/FPIO. DSCA/DBO/FPIO decides the composition of the statistics. Generally, the information is provided in slide form, showing the total number of Army, Navy, air Force, and Minor IA cases closed during the quarter plus the 4 previous quarters. The IA closure numbers are further broken down into the number of Non-ACC, ACC, and EACC cases for each of the quarters. Another slide is compiled that shows EACC statistics since the implementation of the program in 1995. The slide shows the total number of cases closed under EACC procedures and the net excess funds returned to purchasers at closure.
C5.5. Case Closure Suspense Account (CCSA) STATEMENT
C5.5.1. DFAS-IN maintains the CCSA at country level. Transactions occurring after interim closure are processed against each country's respective accounts. (See section C4.12. for the background and processing requirements related to the CCSA.). Table C5.T4. is the lexicon for the CCSA statement. Figure C5.F4., on page 203, is a sample statement.
