| certified defense financial manager: The Defense Financial Manager Rolfe E. Ashworth, 2001-03-01 Recognizing the need to improve the capabilities of the Department of Defense (DoD) financial management workforce, the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) has developed an exam based certification program for DoD financial management personnel, the Certified Defense Financial Manager (CDFM) Program. The purpose of this thesis is to (1) assess how well the Naval Postgraduate School Financial Management curriculum covers the body of knowledge requisite to pass the CDFM examination; (2) recommend options to improve coverage; and (3) develop a student reference guide to aid students in preparing for the exam. The core competencies, knowledge elements, and specific topics that comprise the CDFM body of knowledge were identified through an extensive literature review. Key NPS faculty members were surveyed to assess the level of coverage the Financial Management curriculum provided. The results of the assessment show that the Financial Management curriculum covers approximately 80% of the knowledge requirements in varying degrees, but doesn't provide sufficient coverage of enough of them to fully prepare graduating students to pass the CDFM exam. |

| certified defense financial manager: Department of Defense implications of financial management issues , 2000 As an integral part of an effective budget execution system, an agency is responsible for determining and maintaining its available fund balance. Treasury also has information about activity in the agency's accounts, and Treasury's and the agency's records must be periodically reconciled to determine the actual amount of funds available. This is analogous to reconciling one's personal checking account with the monthly bank statement. DOD weaknesses in accounting for its funds include (1) the inability to reconcile its balances to Treasury's, (2) frequent adjustments of recorded payments from one appropriation to another appropriation account, including to canceled appropriations, (3) problem disbursements-disbursements that are not properly matched to specific obligations recorded in the department's records, and (4) obligated balances that are incorrect or unsupported. As a result of these weaknesses, auditors have been unable to verify DOD's Fund Balance With Treasury and its major components -obligate and unobligated balances. This means that DOD does not know with certainty the amount of funding that is available. This information is essential for DOD and the Congress to be able to determine the status of funds and if unobligated balances are available that could be used to reduce current funding requirements or that could be reprogrammed to meet other critical program needs. |

| certified defense financial manager: The Guardian Michael Toole , 2024-07-02 The Guardian: A Space-Based Neutral Particle Beam - A Powerful GUARDIAN of Peace is a meticulously researched exploration into the development and potential of Neutral Particle Beam (NPB) technology. Authored with a dedication to the United States Space Force Guardians, it delves into the historical evolution of NPB technology up until the mid-1990s, highlighting key milestones, collaborations, and the pivotal role of industry and national laboratories such as Los Alamos, Argonne, and Brookhaven. The book traces the theoretical foundations of NPBs, their Cold War-era conceptualization for space weaponization, and significant advancements during key periods of technological investment. Through detailed chapters, readers gain insights into pivotal phases from pioneering developments in the 1980s to strategic investments in the 1990s aimed at enhancing missile defense capabilities. Notably, the author advocates for renewed international collaboration, suggesting potential partnerships with NATO allies to further NPB capabilities in the face of evolving global threats. Practical pathways for revitalizing NPB technology development, such as leveraging SBIR and STTR programs, are also explored, offering a forward-looking perspective on integrating cutting-edge technologies into future space systems. The Guardian serves not only as a historical document but also as a call to action for stakeholders in defense, aerospace, and technology sectors to reconsider NPB's role in maintaining peace and security in space. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, defense strategy, and international cooperation in space exploration and security. |

| certified defense financial manager: Journey of Perseverance and Accomplishments John S. Medley, 2014-02-07 John Medleys life took on new meaning on the day twenty-one trainee soldiers died. As a teenager, he embarked on the journey of his lifetime to become a fighting finance noncommissioned officer in the US Army. After infantry and paratrooper training, he showed early allegiance to the US Army Finance Corps. The loss of those twenty-one soldiers instilled in him a lifelong commitment to ensuring timely and accurate pay to soldiers and their dependents. Over his career, he learned to rely on his military training and education to help him face and resolve problematic conditions and situations. He also relied on the acquired, mission-related knowledge that he gleaned from one assignment to the next. His life and career were affected further by the urgency to respond to the families of 248 soldiers who had been killed in an air crash when returning from the Sinai. An encounter with a widow and her two toddlers would change his life again. After the death of her soldier husband, she came to Johns office in search of condolence and relief from her unbearable strife. There, the two spoke of her emotional and financial concerns for her familys future without her husband. Fortunately, John and his team were prepared to help these families through their darkest days. Join Dr. Medley as he brings you inside the workings of military finance operations and life in the civilian worlds of business, civil service, and academia. |
