The Department of War (DOW) Financial Management Regulation (FMR) is a comprehensive document, that gives guidance to financial management, acquisition, and other DOW personnel. It directs statutory and regulatory financial management requirements, systems, and functions for all appropriated and non-appropriated, working capital, revolving, and trust fund activities. This report provides actionable recommendations to modernize the FMR, including increasing its user friendliness and making the updating process timelier and less labor intensive.
