This thesis studies the budget formulation procedures
utilized by selected Marine Corps bases and stations. Their
budgeting practices are examined for conformance with preferred
budgeting practices for public organizations and
with budgeting directives issued by Headquarters Marine
Corps. The principal areas covered are the organization
and training of budget personnel, the budget calendar, budget
guidance, and budget formulation. The study finds important
problems in areas including the adequacy of training and
turnover rate of fund administrators, the quality of budget
input submitted to budget officers, and the level of manager
participation in the budget process . The study provides
recommendations for improving the effectiveness and efficiency
of budgeting in the Marine Corps based on the problem
areas discovered.
