The Joint Financial Management Improvement Program was created by the Congress as a means to encourage and sanction cooperation between the executive and legislative branches in the improvement of the government’s financial management. This article traces the need for and development of the Joint Program. It also points out how underutilized the Joint Program is in today’s efforts by the federal government to develop financial systems which have real meaning for administrative and program management.
