The Navy Industrial Fund and Its Applicability to the Naval Data Automation Command.

Abstract

The mission of the Naval Data Automation Command (NAVDAC) is to administer and coordinate the Navy non-tactical ADP program. NAVDAC's principal objectives in fulfilling this mission are to improve the effectiveness of Navy ADP systems and to improve the overall management of the Navy's ADP resources. This thesis examines guidelines from the General Accounting Office (GAO) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) which indicate a dissatisfaction with the current cost accounting practices within the Navy ADP program. NAVDAC currently operates under the Resource Management System (RMS), and this thesis concluded that their cost accounting system was not designed to meet the GAO guidelines and accumulate the full costs of ADP services necessary to facilitate management decision making. This thesis further concluded that the Navy Industrial Fund (NIF) was a viable alternative to RMS for NAVDAC, and that NIF would meet the GAO guidelines. (Author)
