PROGRAM OVERVIEW

United States Marine Corps (USMC) installations are required to track environmental cost in accordance with Federal regulations. The Environmental Financial Management Analyst provides a wide variety of administrative and analytical duties connected with the formulation, justification, presentation, execution, and reporting of budgets for general operations, programs, and projects.

Operating Procedures

All USMC environmental requirements must be entered into Marine Corps Head Quarters Environmental Compliance and Operational Reporting System (ENCORE). ENCORE is not only a budgeting database, but also a project management tool.

The Assistant Environmental Management Officer, Environmental Engineering Officer, Financial Management Analyst of S-7, and Program Managers in the Environmental Management Department (EMD), Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar maintain the data in ENCORE.  The Environmental Program Managers assigned to each program are responsible for informing the Financial Management Analyst of program changes and additions.  A project will not be funded until it is loaded into ENCORE.  It is the only funding source available within the environmental program.

Environmental programs are divided into three pillars: Compliance, Conservation, and Pollution Prevention projects and associated labor cost.  Reimbursable programs consist of Agricultural Outlease, Installation Restoration projects and Recycling.

  • Compliance identifies all costs to comply with applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws, regulations, criteria, and standards.
  • Conservation identifies activities required to comply with environmental stewardship conservation laws, regulations, criteria, and standards, and includes efforts to protect and preserve natural and cultural resources.
  • Pollution Prevention tracks environmental projects that reduce the amount of hazardous material entering the environment prior to recycling, treatment and disposal.

The decentralization of fund management and the
increased use of automated systems, coupled with the volume and
complexity of business processes, reduces the ability of Resource
Managers to exercise direct personal control over all aspects of
each financial business transaction . Accordingly, command level
Resource Managers must depend on other personnel involved in the
financial management processes (i.e., Certifying Officer(s),
Accountable Officials and Fund Administrators) within their
departments to provide accurate, timely data and quality service.

Monitoring both the progress of the organization in
attaining its goals and its rate of resource consumption. The
Commanding Officer has full financial responsibility and is legally
bound not to incur obligations or commitments and expenditures in
excess of available funds.

Fund Administrators are responsible for supporting
the overall system of funds management and control within their
respective department . They are responsible for tracking the
execution of departmental funds and principally involved in
certifying the availability of funds to meet on-going departmental
spending requests prior to funds actually being obligated.
Objectives
  1. Complete budget data calls within deadlines set by HQMC, MCICOM and/or Miramar Comptroller.
  2. Fully execute budget funds. 

Targets

  1. Achieve 100% completion of budget data calls by HQMC and Miramar Comptroller deadlines.

Evaluation of Compliance

  • Fund Administrator (FA) review is done annually by the Resource and Evaluation Office (R&E) known as the internal auditors. In addition, DOD IG, CGIP, ECE Team, and/or program sponsors do audit/program reviews. 
  • These auditors conduct evaluations and analysis of department financial management and administration areas to assist in the prompt detection and correction of problems. They inspect or review Fund Administrator performance areas to ensure Financial Management Regulation (FMR) compliance and audit readiness.
  • Ensure proper records supporting fund execution are maintained by department Resource Manager and Fund Administrator.
