Cash Management Improvement in the Navy Travel Advance System.

Abstract

This thesis contains an investigation of alternate methods of providing travel advance funds to travelers within the Department of the Navy. Current private sector and public sector travel advance methods are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on (1) the timing of Treasury fund disbursements, (2) the convenience of the method for travelers, and (3) whether or not the method provides an incentive for travelers to file travel claims expeditiously. The author concludes that there are potential benefits to be gained through implementation of charge cards and/or travelers checks. The study recommends that field testing be conducted on both of these travel advance methods. Additional keywords: feasibility studies; field tests; Diners Club; expense accounts. (Author).
