This thesis addresses the impact of Public Law 101-510, which eliminated the M Account, on financial
management within the Department of the Navy. The M Account was established for the payment of prior year
obligations from appropriations which had lapsed. The M Account process provides the necessary flexibility to Navy
contract administrators and financial managers to manage resources related to the closure of prior year contracts.
Public Law 101-510 was enacted in 1990 based on congressional concern over Department of Defense
management of the M Account. This study examines this law and the impact this legislation will have on future
financial decision-making in the Department of the Navy. The assessment focuses specifically on the Procurement
and Operations and Maintenance appropriations for the Navy.
