Defense Financial Management is at a pivotal moment. Achieving sustained audit success by 2028 will not be driven by corrective actions alone, it requires enterprise accountability. In Defense FM, the “E” in enterprise means everyone. This moderated panel brings together senior Defense financial leaders to examine how the revised DoW Audit Strategy is reshaping audit remediation efforts, governance expectations, and cross-functional alignment. Panelists will share how they are translating strategy into action synchronizing with OSD DCFO priorities, addressing key dependencies, and navigating barriers to execution. Rather than serving as a status update or technical deep dive, this session is a candid leadership conversation about what can be influenced now, clarity of roles, enterprise-wide coordination, and a culture where accountability is shared and visible. Audit success is not owned by a single office. It is shaped by leadership, reinforced through execution, and sustained through collective ownership across the enterprise. Learning Objectives: 1. Analyze governance structures and leadership expectations to determine how they drive consistent, accountable behavior across the organization 2. Evaluate the alignment of financial systems, policies, and internal controls to identify gaps impacting audit readiness and decision-making 3. Assess strategies for strengthening workforce ownership and improving integration across financial, program, and operational communities
