Planning, Programming and Budgeting System (PPBS) budget review and congressional action

Abstract

This thesis examines the role of financial managers within the Department of the Navy with respect to the federal budget process and the Department of Defense Planning, Programming and Budgeting System (PPBS) . This study determines the most current practices used in these processes and translates the information into useable material for Department of the Navy station comptrollers and military financial managers. As such, it is intended to form the basis for a working knowledge of the complex world of federal budgeting for the newly reporting station comptroller, who in many cases has had little or no prior concern with such issues.
