An Analysis of the Implementation of the Standard Accounting, Budgeting and Reporting System (SABRS) in the 4th Marine Division.

Abstract

The 4th Marine Division, a member of the U.S. Marine Corps' reserve air/ground team, is hindered in managing its financial resources by unavoidable situations peculiar to the reserve structure and by problems associated with the financial control system presently utilized by the division. A proposed single financial system, the Standard Accounting, Budgeting and Reporting System (SABRS), scheduled for implementation throughout the Marine Corps during FY81 has the potential to remedy many problems. However, the current implementation plan for the division provides extremely limited access to SABRS' benefits. This thesis examines the division's present system, the tenets of SABRS, and the SABRS' implementation plan for the division. Finally, an analysis of two alternative implementation plans for the division results in the identification and recommendation of a plan which provides the division full SABRS benefits at a cost lower than the present system or the current implementation plan.
