Information Memorandum No. 06-165  
Subject: DFAS Automated Cash Collection System (ACCS) (INFORMATION) 
Date:   May 18, 2006
Target Audience:  Administrative Contracting Officers (ACOs) and Contract Administrators (CAs)

New Information/Guidance/Tools:

• DFAS has deployed a new Automated Cash Collection System (ACCS) that provides the ability for contractors to submit refunds/payments to DFAS electronically.  ACCS utilizes the Department of Treasury's Pay.gov service and is applicable to contracts that are paid using MOCAS. 
• Manually processing credit vouchers (final or interim) can be time-consuming.  Many times contractor checks can be quite old by the time they reach DFAS disbursing.  Therefore, ACOs and CAs should encourage contractors to use ACCS to submit refunds/payments to DFAS electronically. 
• When contracts are ready to close and contractors are required to submit a refund/payment to the Government, they are encouraged to use ACCS to process a credit interim voucher.  After the refund/payment posts to the contract, then the contractor should submit a zero-final voucher to the ACO for review/approval.
• The DFAS point of contact for ACCS is Ms. Barbara Inskeep. 
• This information is applicable to Tools and Guidance section of the Contract Closeout guidebook, Contract Debt guidebook, and Public Vouchers guidebook
