GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. This MARADMIN announces a revision to
reference (a), Marine Corps Risk Management and Internal Control
(RMIC) Program, eliminating the requirement to utilize the Managers'
Internal Control Remediation and Reporting (MICRR) application in
support of enterprise RMIC activities, effective 1 October 2026.
2. Background. The decision to discontinue MICRR aligns with
direction from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
Financial Management and Comptroller (ASN FM&C) to transition to the
Department of the Navy Enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance
(eGRC) tool, as outlined reference (b). Current fiscal constraints
and Department-wide efforts to eliminate redundant legacy systems
have accelerated this transition. Programs and Resources began
leveraging the eGRC tool in FY25 to document Internal Controls over
Reporting-Financial (ICOR-F) assessments, including financial
reporting, financial systems controls, and entity-level control
testing.
3. Action. Accordingly, effective 1 October 2026, the MICRR
application, along with the associated PEGA-based application
supporting Financial Management Evaluation and Assessments (FMEA),
will be decommissioned and taken offline.
3.a. From the date of this message through 31 August 2026, all
Marine Corps Commands, Deputy Commandants, Directors, and RMIC
Coordinators are directed to extract and retain any data from MICRR
and FMEA deemed necessary for future use. Documentation is a
fundamental component of an effective internal control system,
providing evidence that controls are properly designed, implemented,
and operating as intended. Per reference (c), stakeholders shall
adhere to established documentation requirements when determining
which records and supporting documents must be extracted and
retained from the MICRR system. Upon decommissioning, historical
data within the MICRR system will no longer be accessible.
3.b. For FY27 RMIC execution, Commands, Deputy Commandants,
Directors, and RMIC coordinators will implement interim solutions
to document and maintain RMIC activities outside of MICRR and FMEA.
Acceptable solutions include command-managed repositories such as
Microsoft Teams or SharePoint sites.
3.c. Programs and Resources, Fiscal Division, as the RMIC program
owner, will coordinate requirements for eGRC user licenses to ensure
appropriate Marine Corps representation within the DON-managed tool.
4. Additional guidance regarding Marine Corps implementation and use
of the eGRC tool will be promulgated during the latter portion of
FY26.
5. Release authorized by direction, by SES Edward C. Gardiner,
Assistant Deputy Commandant, Programs and Resources.//
