Section: ACCOUNTING AND REMITTANCE
Subsection: RECONCILIATION OF ACCOUNTS--DRS STATEMENTS DEPARTMENT 79--PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

  OUTLINE:
    The DRS maintained by Departmental Products Branch, serves the following purposes:
   
  - accept accounting data input by the individual departments with the accounts coding established by that department;
  - edit the accounting data for validity based on departmental specific actions;
  - produce departmental statements at the close of each accounting period, based on departmental requirements.
    The statements produced by the DRS, primarily for the benefit of the department, are to:
   
  - ensure that any invalid data input to Central Accounting System (CAS) is identified and corrected without delay;
  - confirm that all accounting data has been inputted to the correct accounts;
  - reconcile departmental records with the Central Accounts.
    The purpose of CDFS is to maintain payroll deductions by code vote and activity for all pay offices. CDFS is updated with the following data:
   
  - the accumulated value of deductions processed by the regional pay offices and transmitted via RPIS;
  - department 79 transactions processed manually and transmitted through the Accounts Payment System (GAPO);
  - inter-departmental JVs affecting payroll deductions.
