FMMI 101 - Introduction to FMMI Training Delivery
June and July marked the beginning of Financnail Management Modernization INitiative (FMMI) training with delivery of FMMI 101 - Introduction to FMMI, in multiple locations throughout the country. FMMI 101 training is presented by OCFO Leadership in New Orleans, La., Beltsville, MD and Washington, DC, and also via teleconference. The training courses provide an understanding of the FMMI program, the USDA re-engineered processes, and the new application(s) and develops further awareness of the impact of FMMI on USDA financial management.

FMMI 101 is a foundational course for all other FMMI Training and is required for all users who will access the FMMI system. Because the training curriculum builds on concepts from previous courses, FMMI training should be taken in proper sequence starting with 101.
