THE CHALLENGE
The administration of the Foreign Military Financing Program (FMFP) program involves the management of substantial
amounts of funds. These funds support Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and are an important component of the U.S. security
assistance programs. FMFP and FMS are designed to promote US national security and foreign policy by assisting our allies in
acquiring the military technologies, products, and capabilities required to meet the threats of the 21st century. Cask
understands that FMFP and FMS case management follows a logical sequence of steps over a prescribed timeline.
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Case Management: Cask recognizes that FMS case management is more of an art than science and that it follows the same
tenets of other DoD and U S. Government (USG) acquisitions programs, which highlight the core of Cask’s past performance
and expertise. Equally important as case management, Cask understands the overall FMS process from the initial preliminary
actions to final reconciliation and closure.
Complexity: As your partner, Cask can ensure compliance with OSD policies and procedures and establish local policies and
procedures as necessary to support that objective. We have the understanding and experience necessary to assist in the
continuous cycle of effective financial planning; planning which will ensure the FMFP and FMF operates under the legislatively
mandated “no-loss” concept and an administratively mandated “no-gain” policy. We understand and can effectively support
the numerous administrative hurdles to effectively implement and execute a foreign military sales program.
Lifecycle Support: Throughout the life cycle of the FMFP and your FMS programs, we will provide research and analysis
needed for a holistic view of the FMS customer’s total program, taking into account current and projected requirements and
all anticipated resource streams. This includes, but is not limited to, customer assistance in monitoring payment schedules
and verifying the complete and accurate application of costs. Cask can ensure the government has the visibility and
information necessary to manage FMS and its associated FMF or cash purchases across the lifecycle.

Oversight and Monitoring: As needed, we will monitor daily operations and transfers to and from the FMS trust fund. From
building phasing plans for projected funds to providing recurring reports and analysis on the obligation and expenditure of
current dollars, we understand the importance of strategic financial management. As a trusted consultant, we will listen,
advise, mentor, and take action to allow you to continue your mission of supporting the warfighter and our allies.
