WASHINGTON — The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Financial Management and Comptroller) (FM&C) officially announced the recipients of the fiscal year (FY) 2025 Army FM&C Awards, celebrating premier achievements within the Army’s financial workforce.

The annual program honors individual Soldiers, Army Civilians, teams, and organizations whose exceptional performance and innovative solutions have directly advanced financial readiness and stewardship across the force. Nominees were graded on the scope, significance, and long-term impact of their contributions to the financial management community, culminating in the selection of this year's distinguished recipients. “Our Soldiers and their families represent the very best of America, and it is our duty to ensure the financial organization that serves them reflects that exact same excellence," said Marc Andersen, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Financial Management and Comptroller. “We commend all nominees and winners for their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to the Financial Management mission.'"

A Legacy of Excellence: Over 30 Years of Financial Leadership The FM&C Awards Program has served as a cornerstone of the Army’s financial management community for over three decades.

Over the years, the program has evolved to mirror the shifting demands of the military's financial landscape. Originally focused on core accounting and budget execution, the modern awards now reflect complex contemporary priorities, such as large-scale audit remediation, advanced cost-estimating techniques, and the deployment of cutting-edge business processes and technology.

Eligible accomplishments must have occurred between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025. Following submission of nominations, an independent board conducted a rigorous evaluation of all submissions. Individuals and organizations had to demonstrate excellence across several key evaluation metrics:

• Mission Readiness: Demonstrable improvements to readiness, efficiency, and customer service delivery.
• Resource Stewardship: Innovative business process enhancements, cost-saving initiatives, and effective technology utilization.
• Professional Standards: Strict adherence to CP-11 eligibility guidelines, excluding commercial contractors or past winners within a three-year window.
