Financial Controls Support Services
Renew Atlanta Bond/TSPLOST Program
City of Atlanta

JAT is providing financial management services for the City of Atlanta’s $250 million bond and $260 million TSPLOST program to resolve urgent infrastructure issues and ensure proper information/transparency to city officials, project managers, and citizens. JAT is currently responsible for compliance processing of all program invoices and provides consulting support in financial controls.

From March 2016 to May 2018, JAT served as Finance Manager responsible for day-to-day financial operations and also served as a member of the Atlanta DOT transition team. Responsibilities included maintaining, monitoring, and tracking all funding, budgets, commitments, and expenditures.

JAT ensured compliance for use of various funding sources to include the bond, TSPLOST, impact fees, grants, and other internal/external partnership funding sources. JAT completed monthly reconciliations of the Financial Activity System to Oracle, the City’s accounting system and provided response/required information to internal and external auditor requests. JAT produced monthly financial reports, ensuring accurate compilation, analysis, and reporting of accounting data and revenue. 

As part of E-Builder Core Team, JAT assisted in the development of new program management system. The financial controls effectively established by JAT for the program are now also being used by Atlanta DOT.

Significant accomplishments:

  • Established financial controls and procedures to allocate funding, administer budget reallocations, route requisitions/purchase orders, and process contractually compliant invoices

  • Worked with City of Atlanta (COA) departments to successfully transition City staff and salary-related costs to include HR coordination for completion of Renew Atlanta Bond personnel

  • Helped establish program policies and procedures for payment processing, requisitions, purchase orders, contracts, and change orders

  • Developed a Financial Activity System (FAS) to record all financial transactions related to funding, commitments, and expenditures

  • Developed a Budget Activity Summary (BAS) for tracking project budgets and assign funding

  • Created Project Cost Data Report for Project Controls to assist with validation of funding, commitment, and expenditures at Work Breakdown Structure level
