Abstract
The Administrative Sciences (AS) Department of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is placing an increasing emphasis on keeping departmental expenses at minimum levels requiring the AS Department to carefully monitor a large number of complex financial accounts. It becomes necessary to develop a Financial Management Information System that would result in improved management of financial assets, better use of clerical skills, and more detailed, accurate, and up-to-date reporting within the AS Department. Based on the requirement analysis and prototypes performed by previous work, this thesis develops and implements a personal computer-based Management Information System for the Management of the many funding accounts controlled by the Administrative Sciences Department. The central objective was to integrate accounting transactions performed in several different offices, currently using different software programs, into a single all-encompassing Management Information System. The system was written using dBASE IV and is currently operational.
