This thesis contains the results of a post implementation
review of the Uniform Management Report (UMR) System. The UMR
System was developed as a means of correcting two serious deficiencies
that existed in the area of financial management
information and reporting: inadequate funds control status
reporting and performance information reporting.
Since the UMR System was directed at improving management
reports at the field activity level, data for this thesis was
collected from a cross-section of field activity budget directors.
The survey data was acquired mainly through the asking
of dichotomous questions concerning the utilization of each of
the seven system reports. This data, obtained over the telephone,
was then compared with written Navy notices; prior educational
research on the UMR and other control systems; and other Navy
publications in order to compile survey findings and thesis
recommendations
.
The conclusions provide management with a picture of the
successes and failures of the UMR System as perceived by the
user management for which the system was designed. Chapter V
contains recommendations to assist management in implementing
future financial management information systems (MIS).
