Website Informs Financial Management Workers

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2011 – Members of the Defense Department’s financial management work force have a new website as a source for information one-stop shopping.

The site “FM Online” features the latest information and articles on topics of interest for the financial management community, in addition to up-to-date DOD guidance, policies and directives, officials said.

FM Online links to “FM myLearn,” a new e-catalog that serves as a gateway to professional development and training opportunities provided across the department’s financial management work force, officials added.

The Pentagon comptroller’s office maintains the site, which is accessible to all DOD common access card holders and focuses on the department’s financial management work force, which comprises more than 45,000 civilian employees and military service members.

Unlike public websites, access to FM Online is limited to common access card holders, officials said.

The website also contains a search tool and links to other financial management-related websites, both within and outside of the Defense Department.
