The purpose of the CDO Compliance project is to modify the REMIS application software to enhance capabilities in the areas of audit trails, transaction histories, and file data verification. These enhancements are required in order for REMIS to comply with CFO requirements identified for Air Force financial feeder systems such as REMIS.
