Under the general direction of the Executive Director, the incumbent exercises overall responsibility for the development, coordination, and maintenance of an integrated financial management system which meets the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget, the Government Office of Accountability, and the Treasury Department; provides accountability for agency funds and assets, and full disclosure of the financial results of agency operations; and furnishes timely data to all levels of management for use in directing, controlling, and evaluating programs. The CFO develops and monitors the system for funds control, makes program adjustments as new requirements are levied or priorities changed, and reviews/prepares a variety of reports on the status of funds.
The incumbent also serves as the FTC's Performance Improvement Officer. The incumbent is responsible for coordinating the performance management activities of the agency, including: development and improvement of the agency's strategic plans, annual performance plans, and annual performance reports; ensuring program goals are aggressive, realistic, and accurately measured; regularly convening agency program management officials to assess and improve program performance and efficiency; and ensuring agency program goals are used in determining performance ratings, particularly those of senior executives to ensure real accountability for greater effectiveness.
The incumbent manages the internal control activity and is responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the agency's internal control processes and systems, including: evaluating and recommending internal control activities; providing both operational and financial data to program officials to assist them in carrying out their internal control responsibilities; and reporting and monitoring operations to ensure that audit findings and other reviews are promptly resolved.
The incumbent oversees the Enterprise Risk Management program to include; identification and analysis of relevant risks associated with achieving organization goals and objectives; maintaining the FTC Risk Register; and reporting quarterly to the Executive Director and the Chair regarding the status of the FTC risk register.
The CFO may speak on behalf of the Executive Director in meetings with senior agency officials, and Congressional appropriators and Executive Branch oversight entities.

In addition, the CFO assumes responsibility for a wide variety of special projects involving the FTC as a whole, such as complex analyses of mission needs and the efficient deployment of FTC financial resources.
As head of FMO, the incumbent oversees a staff responsible for carrying out all financial operations of the Commission.

In addition, the incumbent has overall responsibility for the development of an optimal organization structure and for continual improvement in methods of financial operations to assure the changing needs of the Commission are met through sound financial management.
The incumbent manages the procurement and contracting system for the agency. In this regard, the incumbent oversees development of program goals and objectives, and ensures an effective purchasing and acquisition system. The CFO provides management oversight and broad guidance to the Chief Acquisition Officer, and serves as alternate Head of Contracting Activities (HCA) to the Executive Director.
The incumbent is charged with developing long-range plans and financial policies to facilitate attainment of Commission goals, and for evaluating and synthesizing data related to program costs, objectives, and accomplishments and relating this in meaningful terms to managers for the purpose of achieving the most effective programs with minimum costs both now and in future operations.
