Jimaye Sones - Comptroller, Defense Information Systems Agency
Financial accountability goes beyond implementing controls or achieving a clean audit opinion…it's about moving the culture of the entire agency - not just financial managers - to become the best stewards of taxpayers' dollars possible.

2. Full and open financial disclosure
3. Fiscal discipline
