Additionally, NCEBO oversees compliance with audit and financial regulations, ensuring that eBusiness systems and processes meet federal standards and support accurate reporting, especially during audits such as FISCAM and SBA. The office also plays a pivotal role in training and workforce development by designing and executing training programs for NAVAIR personnel. These programs ensure that employees are proficient in using contracts eBusiness systems and that they comply with all regulatory and operational guidelines.
