FFM Business Use Cases

With the assistance of a working group consisting of most of the CFO Act agencies and shared service providers, the Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation (FIT) has developed a library of FFM Business Use Cases which reflect the business needs, or requirements that an agency must follow, in the financial management community.
