Which system enables intra-governmental transfers and collections?

• A. WAWF
• B. IPAC
• C. EFT
• D. FMS

Answer: (B)

Intra-governmental transfers and collections are handled by a system that records and settles payments between government entities, ensuring funds move smoothly from one agency or component to another and are properly accounted for. IPAC, the Interagency Payment and Collection system, is designed for this purpose. It provides the mechanism to initiate interagency payments, post the transfers to the correct accounts, and track collections across federal entities, maintaining transparency and proper fund control. The other options serve different roles: WAWF is used for contractor invoicing and payments to vendors, EFT is the method by which funds are transferred electronically (not a dedicated interagency transfer system), and FMS supports foreign military sales rather than internal DoD interagency transfers.
