Our Patent Pending MMA web based solution software is the only
software in existence today that automates the annual OGE-450 (Confidential
financial Disclosure Report) filing process, as well as the SF-278 ( Executive
Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Form) as well as
any other form in existence today. Instead of having 300,000 plus federal
employees handing in their paper copies of the required OGE-450
form, employees can now submit their forms electronically to a secure database
which automatically includes a digital signature. Employees are
then notified via e-mail with their error-proof, filled out forms are
attached to their email. The benefits MMA offers
will reduce staff time needed to create, collate, and disseminate all
government paper-based forms.
MMA is a web-based software program that walks users through the
process of filling out and electronically filing the forms, which are required
for thousands of Federal Government employees and hundreds of thousands of
government employees throughout the executive branch. Once completed, the form
is automatically saved online and a copy of the form in Adobe PDF formailed is
emailed to the filer. The program automatically sends a message with due dates,
tracks who has filed and who has not, sends reminders, sends
thank-you emails and confirmations, and notifies managers when
employees fail to file. MMA can automatically recognize prohibited
stocks and generate memos requiring divestiture of prohibited
stocks. Reports than can show every employee who has submitted their
OGE-450 form can be implemented with just one click of a mouse. The
time savings alone will save millions of hours of government
employees time, which inturn saves the federal government thousands and
millions of dollars each year.
The current filing process of the OGE-450 and SF-278 consumes a
managers time, approximately six months of their time, because forms are
handed in incomplete or employees do not know how to fill out their forms.
With MMA, filings can be fully processed in about 5 to 10 minutes. MMA is
web-based, that means it will work on PCs and Macs, and there is no
installation for any user. Any employee can access their forms data
securely from anywhere in the world. Simply loggin in to our system, you
will have all your information year after year without retyping these laborous
forms. There's nothing else like this in the government for these disclosure
statements, until now. The time is now for MMA and the time for the
federal government to employ MMA is now.
We also would like to inform Mr. Donald Rumsfeld, that we have his
answer to his form filing problem! Please read the article below:
 Plain,
harsh language on government forms: In an earlier Weblog entry, we
highlighted a PDF-based version of "Rumsfeld's
Rules," a collection of witticisms, proverbs, pet peeves and codes of
conduct developed and preached by the current U.S. Secretary of Defense. Based
on a news item widely reported this week, Donald Rumsfeld may want to add this
new "rule" to his still-expanding set of personal commandments: 'No government
forms with more pages of instructions than the actual form itself!'The Associated Press (AP) reports
that Rumsfeld's recently released financial disclosure statement shows he sold
as much as $91 million of his stock and partnership shares last year to comply
with government ethics requirements. Apparently riled by the experience, the
known-to-be-feisty Cabinet head chronicled his frustrations in a letter to the
government agency that oversees the 18-page "Standard Form (SF) 278 Executive
Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Report". What set Rumsfeld off,
however, was not the ethics requirement -- but rather the government form
itself! According to the AP: "Rumsfeld complained in a letter to the
Office of Government Ethics that the disclosure form is 'excessively
complex and confusing' and cost him more than $60,000 in accountants' fees to
compile." He also said he signed the disclosure forms "with a
prayer and a hope" they were accurate, because he didn't have time to read
every entry. "They're so complex that no human being, college educated or not,
can understand them," Rumsfeld said, adding that "There is no doubt in my mind
but that with effort, this document could be simplified down to less than
one-third its length, and rewritten so it can be understood by the preparer as
well as the reader."
Internet rumormonger Matt Drudge
was quick to highlight Rumsfeld's whine about the confusing form instructions
on his
Drudge Report site, even adding a direct link to download a PDF version
of the SF 278 form -- under a 'Hard to Understand?' heading. Presumably Drudge,
never one to miss a chance to needle a government official, meant to imply the
form was all but self-explanatory.
