Summary:

The Defense Department (DOD) needs accurate financial information to effectively manage its vast resources--more than $1 trillion in assets, 3 million personnel, and a projected budget of $250 billion for fiscal year 1997. Financial management information not only reveals DOD's financial position and the results of its operations but also provides Congress with information for making decisions and assessing DOD's performance. One challenge to DOD's financial management is putting in place a quality, professional financial management workforce. This report--part of a series of planned GAO reports discussing DOD's financial management workforce--identifies the qualifications, including formal education, training, professional certifications, and work experience, of persons serving in key financial management positions at DOD.
