A Study of Internal Review in the Fleet Marine Force Pacific and Host Activity Commands.

Abstract

Internal review, the Marine Corps commander's in-house audit function, is an element of internal control within a command that can aid the commander in his/her management of resources in pursuit of his/her readiness objective. This thesis discusses the background of internal review and its potential importance in contributing to improved economy, efficiency and effectiveness of operations. A model is developed from current authoritative Marine Corps directives and preferred practices from the private sector to be used as a standard in the study. A survey of the Fleet Marine Forces Pacific (FMCPAC) and host activity commands was conducted to gather data to determine the degree of compliance with the standard model. The causes for non-compliance with the standard model. The causes for non-compliance are discussed and recommendations for improvement are presented for areas where significant findings resulted.
