Who We Are
A place of far-reaching influence
To provide this stable and secure environment, the executive branch
of Tennessee State Government employs approximately 38,000 people in
22 departments and other agencies. At the hub of this network
of service to Tennessee citizens is the Department of
Finance and Administration, the chief corporate office of state government.
In this role, F&A provides financial and administrative support services
to the rest of state government, thus enabling them to providetheir services
to the citizen and improve the quality of life for Tennesseans. We provide
the grease to keep the wheels of government turning.
-
Each year F&A/Budget
prepares and administers for the Governor the annual budget by
estimating the revenue and expenditures required to run state
government.
-
F&A/Accounts
pays the state’s bills, maintains the financial records for state
government, prepares the state’s financial statements, administers
and develops the state fiscal policies, and administers payroll
for state employees.
- F&A/Office
for Information Resources makes communication and exchange of
information possible within state government. OIR operates the state’s
data center and provides computer procurement and support services
to state government. F&A/OIR also provides for state government
telecommunications services and for further development and implementation
of the state Management Information Systems Plan, to assure that
state government stays on the cutting edge of computer technology.
-
F&A/Insurance Administration
manages and administers the health insurance
programs provided for state employees, local government employees
and teachers.
-
F&A/Real Property Administration manages the state’s
capital projects including the construction of prisons, educational
facilities, and administrative facilities. This division also
manages state government property, land, and personnel housing.
- F&A/Resource
Development and Support provides monitoring and support services
to public and private agencies so that state government is able
to take advantage of millions of dollars of resources available
through various governmental grants and programs.
Administrative support. Dollars. Buildings. Without
these and other services provided by F&A, state government could
not operate as effectively and we would not have a stable and secure
society in Tennessee.
Working for F&A is an opportunity to make a difference.
