The Development of the Junior Level Army Financial Manager.

Abstract

This thesis is an analysis of the degree of job preparation manifested by Army junior level financial managers in their first comptroller related assignments. The research stemmed from a perception, developed from interviews, that all is not well within the comptroller community. It identifies those comptroller functional responsibilities where the young manager has not performed to expectations or where the officers are not adequately prepared to perform their duties. The authors accomplished this research by means of a survey questionnaire and an examination of recent audit report findings on the subject. Functional responsibility shortcomings to the Army financial management system and curricula of ongoing comptrollership courses. The study culminates with a proposal for an Army practical comptrollership course and a financial management intern program designed to deal with the identified comptroller job preparation shortcomings.
