§8025 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

The Navy must have an Assistant Secretary for Financial Management who runs and oversees the Navy’s money work and makes sure the Navy’s financial systems meet federal standards. That person must supervise the Navy’s budget estimates and do the comptroller-type tasks for the Navy, approve and oversee projects to build or improve financial systems, and approve and run systems that manage assets—like cash, credit, debt collection, and the tracking of property, inventory, location, quantity, and cost. All Navy accounting, internal control, and financial reporting systems must follow the accounting and internal-control standards set by the Comptroller General under 31 U.S.C. 3511 and 3512. The systems must give complete, reliable, consistent, and timely information on a uniform basis; report cost data; link accounting and budgeting; and measure performance. The Assistant Secretary must keep a five-year improvement plan (updated yearly) and send an annual report to the Secretary describing and analyzing Navy financial management.
