Budget Control and Execution in the Fleet Marine Force.

Abstract

This thesis examines budget control and execution in the Fleet Marine Force. The past performance of selected major subordinate commands was examined for FY 85 and the budget officer of each command was interviewed, combined with the data gathered from the budgets and performance statements of the selected commands, revealed significant problems in control and execution. The PPBS process, the timing of the guidance received and issued, the use of ceilings and obligations rates as control measures, the Marine Air/Ground Financial Accounting and Reporting System, and the impact of the Marine Corps' reward systems on the conflict between the Marine Corps' philosophies of financial management, and operational reality, were the main problem areas identified. This thesis examines these problems, their impact on budget control and execution, and makes specific recommendations to reduce and/or resolve them.
