The Integrated Disbursing and Accounting Financial Management System (IDAFMS). An Overview of the System, Its Implementation and the Employment of Microcomputers in Support of IDAFMS.
Abstract
This thesis investigates the Integrated Disbursing and Accounting Financial Management System (IDAFMS), the primary supporting subsystem for the Navy's Integrated Disbursing and Accounting Financial Information Processing System (IDAFIPS). Past deficiencies of Navy financial management systems and the benefits of integrated, real-time systems are discussed. The four sub-systems comprising IDAFIPS are described in general terms. IDAFMS' capabilities and the enhanced control it brings to Navy financial managers are reviewed in detail. The employment of microcomputers by Navy financial managers and as an integral component of IDAFMS is investigated. Opportunities for employment of microcomputers in training applications and the considerations for computer based instruction are discussed. The Installation and Implementation Plans for IDAFMS are analyzed, particularly with respect to implementation training. Recommendations are offered to enhance IDAFMS training programs and implementation plans. keywords: Automated Accounting Systems; U.S. Navy Financial Management; Integrated Disbursing and Accounting; IDA; U.S. Navy Financial Systems; Disbursing; Accounting Systems; Microcomputers in Financial Management.
