ASSET ACCOUNTABILITY AND MANAGEMENT OF
INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE
1. INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
In accordance with issuance from the Deputy Secretary of Defense (reference 1), this
manual—
x Provides additional guidance and procedures for Army implementation of the
requirements of Section 11316 of the Clinger-Cohen Act (reference 2), and the
direction of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), Deputy Chief Financial
Officer (reference 3) that relate to the lifecycle accountability and management of
Internal Use Software (IUS), to include documenting IUS lifecycle events and
transactions.
x Provides guidance on IUS criteria consistent with Department of Defense (DoD)
Financial Management Regulation (FMR) 7000-14-R (reference 4), and Army
Regulation (AR) 25-1, Army Information Technology (reference 5).
x Establishes policies, assigns responsibilities, and provides procedures for
maintaining property management and accountability of Army-owned IUS.
x Defines the roles and responsibilities of Army IUS property managers and other
officials regarding IUS property management and accountability.
x Identifies Army Accountable Property System of Record (APSR) procedures.
2. GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 APPLICABILITY
This issuance applies Armywide to—
2.1.1. Headquarters, Department of the Army, Army Commands, Army Service
Component Commands, and all other Direct Reporting Units (referred to collectively in
this manual as the “Army”).
2.1.2. Property management, accountability requirements and financial reporting for IUS
as defined by this policy. Personal accountability for security-related matters is
addressed by DoD Instruction (DoDI) 8500.01 (reference 6). This issuance does not
issue policy for financial accounting or audit of IUS. Financial accounting requirements
for IUS are addressed by DoD 7000.14-R. Audit readiness requirements are addressed
through the Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) Guidance (reference 7).
2
ASSET ACCOUNTABILITY AND MANAGEMENT OF
INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE
2.1.3. IUS that is acquired through appropriated or working capital funds including those
transferred to the Army for implementation but not developed by the Army.
2.2 POLICY
The Army—
2.2.1 Defines IUS as having both of the following characteristics: (1) the software is
acquired, internally developed, or modified solely to meet the entity’s internal needs;
and (2) during the software’s initial development or modification (post deployment
development), no substantive plan exists or is being developed to market the software
externally.
2.2.2. Manages all software including IUS to ensure resources are used efficiently and
effectively, in accordance with Subtitle III of the Clinger-Cohen Act.
2.2.3. Maintains accountability over IUS as defined in this policy until formally relieved of
accountability when IUS is removed from use per DoD 7000.14-R.
2.2.4. Performs fiduciary reporting of expenses and capitalization of IUS defined in this
policy in accordance with DoD 7000.14-R and the Statement of Federal Financial
Accounting Standards Number 10 for the DoD (reference 8).
2.2.5. Maintains property management and accountability of IUS system records,
financial cost evaluation, authoritative asset tracking as authoritative data in Army
business systems and transactional ledgers with auditable accounting using APSRs.
2.2.6. Applies the following criteria to software for determination of what software shall
be defined as IUS consistent with law and DoD Policy:
x Embedded Software in Weapons Systems (see reference 9: AR 71-9,
Warfighting Capabilities Determination): IUS does not include software that is
integrated into and necessary to operate military equipment. For the Army, this
includes all software required for an operational force to execute a warfighting
function that is not linked to a Defense Business System. Criteria for this
category include software acquired in support of an Army Requirements
Oversight Council approved requirement as defined in AR 71-9 and is operated
by a deployable unit or a unit apportioned to Combatant Commands. Frequently,
but not always, such software operates on equipment identified with a Line Item
Number (LIN) on military unit Mission Table of Organization and Equipment
(MTOE).
x Offensive and Defensive Cyber Operations: IUS does not include software
developed for the Cyber Mission Force mission. Offensive and Defensive cyber
3
ASSET ACCOUNTABILITY AND MANAGEMENT OF
INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE
operation tool development has been approved by the Army Requirements
Oversight Council and are directed by U.S. Cyber Command. These tools
represent Military Equipment for the Cyber Mission Force and their supporting
organizations and so are exempt.
x Defense Business Systems (DBS) (see reference 10: AR 5-1, Management of
Army Business Operations): All Defense Business System (DBS) as defined by
AR 5-1 are covered IUS. The methods for how the DBS are acquired will
determine if financial reporting and asset accountability are required, such as, an
accounting determination will be required to enumerate which DBS costs should
be capitalized or expensed.
x Network Common Services (AR 25-1): All software utilized to provide network
common services to provide the Army Information Technology Service Catalogue
services are not IUS. They are embedded software for the operation of the
network. Such software includes Software Defines Wide Area Network software
controllers, cloud common services, and communication capabilities.
x Perishable Software: IUS does not include software acquired or internally
developed that is perishable in nature as measured by no validated Army
requirements processes in accordance with AR 5-1, AR 25-1, or AR 71-9. For the
Army, this includes all software developed as part of episodic training, tools
created for demonstration purposes only, or Science and Technology research
that do not produce software for operational use.
x Low code/No code Activity within an Approved Software Platform: IUS does not
include Low-code/No Code activity within a software platform approved by the
Army Chief Information Officer (CIO) for this purpose. As long as the activity
does not expand the scope of the approved platform, the activity is utilization of
software for its intended purpose as in not new.
x Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure as code is the ability to provision and
support a computing infrastructure using code instead of manual processes and
settings. Examples of low code/no code activity include utilization of macros
within common office products, open source data transformations within a data
platform, employing machine language automation within the core capabilities of
the environment, or scripts within an Artificial Intelligence training suite.
Infrastructure as Code: IUS does not include low-code/code activities (e.g.,
scripts) for direct management of the network, operating systems, and system
infrastructure. These are inherently embedded software for the system the
activity controls.
x Army Working Capital Fund (AWCF): Capital IUS that is funded by the AWCF will
be reported on the AWCF Financial statements. This will be purchased as part of
4
ASSET ACCOUNTABILITY AND MANAGEMENT OF
INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE
the Capital Investment Program. All other capital IUS will be reported on the
General Fund statements.
2.2.7. Applies the following criteria for IUS reporting purposes, in particular those IUS
requiring the reporting of expenses and capitalization as defined in DoD 7000.14-R and
the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards Number 10:
x As-a-service acquisition: Software acquired through commercial offerings of
Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure
as a Service (IaaS) are by their nature not owned by the government and are
only licensed. If the license is annually renewed, they are expensed items and so
do not require capitalization financial reporting.
x Annual licenses: Software acquired through annual licensing is by its nature
expensed as the software is not a government asset with enduring value.
x Annual maintenance fees: Annual software maintenance fees are by their nature
an expensed activity. Conducting life cycle maintenance on a software based
capital asset where the activity does not require development funding is also by
its nature an expensed activity as it does not add value to the software asset.
However, if the underlying software being maintained was purchased with
ownership rights by the government, the software may require capitalized
financial reporting per 2.2.5–6 above and in accordance with DoD 7000.14-R.
