An Analysis of the Standard Finance System (STANFINS)

Abstract

The United States Army accounting systems are the backbone of the Army's formal financial management system. They have evolved from manual systems to current automated processes increasing in scope and complexity along the way. The current Standard Finance System (STANFINS) is the Army's most widely used installation accounting system. This thesis briefly traces its evolution and examines its current processes in order to determine how well STANFINS is supporting resource management with respect to both a fiduciary and managerial role. Additionally, this study determines STANFINS's future involvement in the Army's efforts to improve financial management.
