Abstract
The objective of this thesis is to answer the question: What is the
information needed by the activity comptroller to make financial management
decisions? This thesis will be limited to the information requirements
necessary to manage the Operations and Maintenance, Marine Corps
(O&MMC), fund accounts. The O&MMC account was chosen because it is one
o^ the larger single appropriations, and it is difficult to manage, due
to the increasing pace of operations and the mission of the Marine Corps
Informational requirements for fiduciary reporting are taken as a necessity
and will not be addressed in this thesis. It will be shown that
most comptrollers use essentially the same information, and that priorities
of mission, and other constraints determine their tasks and information
needs. The two accounting systems PRIME and MAGFARS supplied
essential data but it required manual extraction and manipulation that
SABRS will eliminate.
