The primary role of Statewide Accounting is to issue statewide financial and administrative policies, provide financial consulting, monitoring, training services, and produce statewide reports. Statewide Accounting is responsible for fiscal year closing and supplemental reporting disclosures.

The state participates in numerous federal assistance programs and is required to enter into certain agreements with the federal government.

The Financial Management Advisory Council (FMAC) serves in an advisory and consultative role to the Office of Financial Management, the state legislature, and other appropriate parties concerned with state government fiscal administration.

In October 2011, the State Auditor’s Office (SAO) released their audit report on state grants. Based on the results of the audit, SAO recommended that the Office of Financial Management (OFM) develop a clear definition of state grants and provide guidance on grants management to help ensure consistency across state agencies.

Transparency is fundamental to accountability. Most states, including Washington, have transparency websites. Washington's transparency website (fiscal.wa.gov) is a collaborative effort between the Office of Financial Management and the Legislative Evaluation and Accountability Program Committee.

These resources help state agencies fulfill internal control requirements in Chapter 20 of the State Administrative & Accounting Manual (SAAM).
