The American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) celebrates its 75th anniversary of advancing the profession by establishing September 30th as the day to annually recognize the defense financial management community.
WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / September 21, 2023 / The American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC)'s Board of Directors, representing the premier non-profit educational and professional association for the defense financial management (FM) community, issued a proclamation declaring September 30th as ‘National Defense Financial Manager Day'. Signed by Board President Glenda Scheiner, CDFM/CDFM-A, DFMCP3, and Chief Executive Officer Rich Brady, CDFM, CMA, CGFM, this newly founded day recognizes the contributions of over 200,000 defense financial managers in the government and commercial sectors, throughout the United States and around the world, who provide critical financial support to the nation's national defense during peacetime, exercise, contingency, and wartime operations.
'Defense financial managers ensure budgetary integrity, operating performance, stewardship, and systems and control over nearly one trillion dollars in appropriated funds per fiscal year, from October 1 through September 30,' the proclamation stated. 'All appropriated funds must be properly accounted for and fully expended in accordance with applicable laws and regulations by September 30th of each fiscal year.'
