4. POLICY
It is DoD policy to establish, manage and control NAFIs, NAF, and financial management of resources supporting NAFIs in accordance with reference (a).
5. PROCEDURES
5.1. Establishment, Oversight, Disestablishment and Transfers of NAFIs. The DoD Components shall assign organizational responsibility for NAFI administration, management, and control.
5.1.1. Establishment. The written approval to establish a NAFI shall specify the purpose and function, the authorized patrons, a financial plan, and the successor NAFI. The NAFI shall be classified in one of the six Program Groups specified in reference (a).
5.1.1.1. One NAFI shall be established and maintained for each Program Group operated. Requests to establish a NAFI to support more than one Program Group shall be approved by the DoD Component and notification submitted to the Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (PDUSD(P&R)).
5.1.1.2. A successor NAFI shall be designated for each Program Group at the DoD Component or Military Service Headquarters level. Successor NAFIs may also be designated at intermediate organizational echelons. Joint NAFIs shall have a successor NAFI established within each of the participating DoD Components.
5.1.1.3. The agreement between the Heads of the DoD Components concerned, to establish a joint NAFI shall provide for inter-Service support in compliance with DoD Instruction 4000.19 (reference (g)).
5.1.1.4. Responsibility for NAFIs of tenant units or organizations devolves upon the command of the installation at which the unit or organization is stationed, unless an alternate agreement is executed by the organizations concerned. Tenant organizations shall be afforded the same facility use and program participation privileges as afforded to organizations or units of the parent installation. Per capita funding distributions shall count personnel of tenant organizations on the same basis as personnel of the parent installation.
5.1.2. Oversight. The Head of the DoD Component or Military Service designee is responsible for NAFI oversight and shall maintain a current listing that classifies each NAFI by Program Group, identifies the successor NAFI, and appoints an advisory group. The appointed advisory group shall ensure the NAFI is responsive to authorized patrons and the purposes for which it was created. The composition, function, and purpose of the group shall be determined by the DoD Components concerned. Joint NAFIs shall have a governing body known collectively as the Board of Directors. A DoD Component or Military Service-level advisory group shall be designated to review central NAFIs.
5.1.3. Disestablishment. Upon disestablishment, excess NAFI assets or residual NAFI liabilities may be redistributed to other NAFIs within the Program Group, or otherwise disposed of by the successor NAFI, in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Head of the DoD Component concerned. A terminal audit shall be performed.
5.1.4. Transfers. When control of an installation or organization is transferred from one DoD Component to another or to another U.S. Government Department or Agency, the disposition of NAF assets or liabilities shall be determined through negotiation. These negotiations shall ensure a fair and equitable distribution of assets in consideration of current and foreseeable requirements of the affected installations or organizations.
5.2. Use of Resources. NAFI program objectives are implemented using a combination of APF, NAF, and private resources.
5.2.1. Authority for APF and NAF funding of NAFIs is identified in enclosure 3. The DoD Components or Military Service headquarters designee shall establish procedures that require APF and NAF data to be available in the level of detail of the cost expense captions defined at enclosure 4. A NAFI contractor or concessionaire who sells or provides authorized services is entitled to the same APF support as activities operated by a NAFI.
5.2.1.1. Program Group I - Military morale, recreation and welfare (MWR), child development, and school age care activities are assigned to the categories in DoD Instructions 1015.10, 6060.2, and 6060.3 (references (h) through (j)).
5.2.1.2. Program Group II - Armed Services Exchange and Program Group III - Civilian MWR programs are defined in DoD Instruction 1330.21 and DoD Directive 1015.8 (references (k) and (l)). They are authorized APF support for Category C activities.
5.2.1.3. Program Group IV - Lodging Program Supplemental Mission Funds, Program Group V - Supplemental Mission Funds and Program Group VI - Special Purpose Central Funds are defined at enclosure 5. Temporary duty (TDY) and permanent change of station (PCS) lodging programs are defined in DoD Instruction 1015.12 (reference (m)).
5.2.2. The laws and regulations concerning the authorization, availability, obligation and expenditure of APF must be followed. Appropriations made available to support operations of Program Groups I, II, and IV (Stars and Stripes) may be provided to a NAFI under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) under procedures specified at enclosure 6. This does not preclude NAFIs from entering into contracts or other agreements under paragraph 4.10. of DoD Directive 4105.67 (reference (n)).
5.2.3. Military MWR and Armed Services Exchange Category C activities at designated remote and isolated locations are authorized funding under Category B rules under the provisions of references (h) and (k).
5.2.4. During force protection conditions at Charlie and Delta, Military MWR Category C activities, excluding golf courses, are authorized additional APF support for civilian personnel with installation management and supervisory functions (excluding personnel directly and primarily involved in resale), utilities and rents, and custodial and janitorial services.
5.2.4.1. Prior to implementation, each Military Service shall ensure that accounting mechanisms are in place to account and report the support, by element of expense, as APF support to the MWR program.
5.2.4.2. This authority is available only to activities located on an installation designated under force protection Charlie or Delta by the Combatant Commander, Military Service Chief, or equivalent DoD civilian. The APF authority is discontinued at the end of the same fiscal year quarter during which the designated force protection condition is disestablished or downgraded. Such limited APF support is permitted to help sustain their capability to generate NAF to support Category B basic community MWR programs and to maintain force readiness. APF support to Category A and B activities shall not be diverted for this purpose.
5.2.5. Membership of personnel in professional organizations may be authorized in accordance with DoD 5500.7-R (reference (o)). NAF may be used to pay the cost of organizational or position memberships (but not individual memberships) when beneficial to the NAFI. NAF may be used to pay the cost for NAF employees to obtain professional credentials, including expenses for professional accreditation, State-imposed and professional licenses, professional certification and examinations to obtain such credentials, when beneficial to the NAFI, consistent with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5757 (reference (p)).
5.2.6. Unauthorized Use of NAF. NAF are to be used for the general welfare of the military community. Individuals, units, organizations, or installations shall have no proprietary interest in NAFI funds or other assets.
5.2.6.1. NAFI funds or assets may not be transferred to private organizations as dividends or other distributions.
5.2.6.2. NAF are not authorized to be used or support the following functions:
5.2.6.2.1. Command representation or protocol functions.
5.2.6.2.2. Scholarships, free mailing and postage, or to provide any other specific benefit for select individuals or groups.
5.2.6.2.3. Replace or to supplement appropriations for public affairs, medical, religious, or other activities or programs that are outside the purposes for which the NAFI was established.
5.2.6.2.4. Pay for employees who are not performing duties directly related to the NAFI functions or mission.
5.2.7. NAF-Financed Facilities and Structures. A building or structure constructed or purchased using NAF shall not be diverted to a use other than in direct support of the purpose for which it was acquired without the prior concurrence of the Head of the DoD Component, or a designee.
5.3. Planning, Programming and Budgeting. NAFI programs are supported by APF and NAF resources and may be financed through private sources or commercial borrowing. These resources shall be planned, programmed, and budgeted to implement NAFI objectives. Actual performance shall be regularly compared to budgets and action taken to correct unfavorable variances.
5.3.1. APF support of NAFIs shall be planned, programmed, and budgeted in accordance with PPBRS procedures in Volume 2 of DoD 7000.14-R (reference (q)).
5.3.2. NAF budgets are updated annually to provide financial data to managers and commanders for management decision-making. The DoD Component shall determine the format as long as data allows for management analysis of each Funding Category within a Program Group, to provide for budget to actual comparisons to financial statements, and to evaluate performance against program plans. The following budgets shall be prepared for each NAFI:
5.3.2.1. Operating Budgets. The operating budgets shall project NAF income and NAF expenses.
5.3.2.2. Capital Budgets. Expenditures shall be budgeted for acquisition and replacement of fixed assets and the construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization of facilities. The budget shall indicate the source of funding (APF, NAF, or other).
5.3.2.3. Cash Budgets. The cash budgets shall show the existing NAF cash resources (cash and investments), anticipated receipts and disbursements, and forecast cash balances on specified dates.
5.4. Accounting
5.4.1. APF Accounting Systems. APF accounting systems provide financial data to satisfy the accounting and reporting requirements of Volumes 4 and 6A of DoD 7000.14-R (references (r) and (s)).
5.4.2. NAF Accounting Systems. Accounting records shall provide the detail necessary to report the funding categories, activities, and income and expense data of each Program Group as prescribed at enclosure 7. NAF accounting systems shall meet managerial reporting requirements established herein. Separate accounting records are required for each NAFI.
5.2.4.1. Restricted Cash and Investments. Cash and investments restricted for non-current purposes are classified and reported on the balance sheet as non-current assets.
5.4.2.2. Extraordinary Items. Extraordinary income or expense shall be shown in the financial statements separately from ordinary operations and footnoted.
5.4.2.3. Dividends and Grants. The distribution of dividends and grants shall be recorded and reported as decreases in equity. Follow-on distribution of grants and dividends shall be recorded as "other expense." The receipt of dividends and grants that support recurring operations shall be recorded as "non-operating income." The receipt of grants for capital items shall be recorded as equity transactions.
5.4.2.4. Equity Transactions. Transfers into and out of equity shall be limited to net income, net losses, prior year material corrections, entries associated with establishment, disestablishment, or consolidation of NAFIs, and the distribution and receipt of capital.
5.4.2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets. Tangible fixed assets purchased with NAF having a useful life expectancy of more than 2 years and an acquisition cost of $1,000 or more, shall be capitalized in the NAF accounting records. Records for tangible fixed assets shall reflect acquisition cost (or estimated value if acquired by other than purchase), allowance for depreciation, and net book value. Acquisition cost includes expenditures necessary to place assets into use such as installation, freight, testing, and legal fees to establish title, and any other costs of putting the asset in the condition and location for use. Tangible fixed assets shall be segregated between NAFI-owned fixed assets and those fixed assets to which title has been transferred to the Government. An explanatory footnote shall be included in the balance sheet for Government Titled Fixed Assets as follows:
"The title of real property and other tangible fixed assets financed with nonappropriated funds and reported hereon is vested with the U.S. Government."
5.4.2.6. Depreciation and Amortization. Tangible fixed assets shall be depreciated over their expected useful lives. Depreciation and amortization shall be established and reported on financial statements. The DoD Components shall prescribe depreciation method and useful lives of assets and disclose in the notes to the financial statements. Uniform depreciation and expected useful lives shall be used by the Armed Services Exchanges.
5.4.2.7. Standard Fiscal Years. The NAF fiscal year for DoD NAFIs, except the Armed Services Exchanges, begins on October 1 and ends the following September 30. The fiscal year for all Armed Services Exchanges begins on February 1 and ends on January 31 of the following year, with a 15-day leeway authorized for the beginning and ending dates.
5.4.2.8. Inventory Valuation. Inventories shall be valued at cost, to include freight, distribution, and purchase discounts. The DoD Components shall prescribe the method for determining cost (FIFO, LIFO, moving average, etc.) as long as the method is consistently applied and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. A uniform inventory valuation method shall be used by the Armed Services Exchanges.
5.4.2.9. Prompt Payment Act. NAFIs shall comply with the provisions of the Prompt Payment Act in accordance with 5 CFR 1315, Prompt Payment (reference (t)) and Volume 10 of DoD 7000.14-R (reference (u)).
5.4.2.10. Purchase Discounts. In determining the cost of purchased property or goods, discounts shall be deducted from the price billed and the cost of purchased property shall be recorded net of discounts.

5.5.2. Annual Reporting Requirements. A consolidated financial and management report shall be prepared annually for each Military Service, and Joint Service NAFI. Each consolidated report shall contain the financial statements and reports specified at enclosure 7. Ten copies of the annual report shall be submitted to the PDUSD(P&R) within 120 days following the close of the Program Group fiscal year. The reports shall be based on or be the basis of annual financial statements that comply with the audit requirements of DoD Instruction 7600.6 (reference (x)). Any material differences discovered subsequent to the submission of the reports shall be immediately reported to the PDUSD(P&R) and the deviation fully disclosed in the accompanying auditor's statement and footnotes.
5.6. Analysis and Evaluation. The annual analysis shall be prepared according to the procedures prescribed by the DoD Component or the designated Military Service. The frequency and scope of prescribed requirements must be aligned to the financial management complexity or simplicity of the various activities involved. Performance of the analysis and evaluation function must be followed by the appropriate corrective actions. Should analysis and evaluation indicate that planning, budgeting, and reports submitted to the PDUSD(P&R) are materially misstated or misleading, an explanatory report shall be submitted to the PDUSD(P&R) within 30 days of making the discovery.
5.7. Management of Resources. Management of resources is the process of ensuring that the proper resources are obtained and used effectively.

5.7.2. Standards of Conduct. The standards of conduct published in DoD Directive 5500.7 (reference (aa)) and implemented by reference (o) are applicable to personnel assigned NAF responsibility or assigned to or employed by a NAFI.
5.7.3. Internal Controls. NAFI internal control systems shall provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of organization; the efficiency and economy of operations; safeguards over assets; the propriety of receipts and disbursements; and the accuracy and reliability of records and reports. The internal management control program under DoD Directive 5010.38 (reference (ab)) is applicable to NAFIs and NAF.
5.7.4. Cash and Investments. NAF are accumulated to meet requirements to finance NAFI programs. Management of NAF shall be based, in order of priority, on safety, liquidity, and yield. Cash and treasury management shall conform to the institutions, investments, procedures, and reporting requirements at enclosure 8.
5.7.4.1. The PDUSD(P&R) shall convene annually a meeting of representatives of the offices of the PDUSD(P&R) and the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) (USD(C)) with functional responsibility for banking and investments to review the "Annual Cash and Investment Management Reports," examine the portfolios, and make recommendations for improvement to policy. The DoD Component Headquarters' NAF treasury managers shall present the results of their most recent "Annual Cash and Investment Management Report" at this meeting.
5.7.4.2. Investment funds shall be audited by an independent public accountant. A financial statement audit is required annually and a more comprehensive audit to include fund administration and internal controls is required at least biannually. The NAF investment function shall be reported as an assessable unit in the Internal Management Control Program under reference (ab). The statement of assurance and accompanying reports shall be furnished to the investment oversight committee.
5.7.5. Receivables. NAFIs may sell merchandise or services to authorized customers on credit through NAFI credit systems, merchants' agreements with credit card processors, or negotiated universal commercial credit contracts.
5.7.5.1. Debts to NAFIs are obligations to the U.S. Government. The DoD Components shall take prompt, efficient action to collect customer debts and other NAFI receivable through available voluntary and involuntary means.
5.7.5.2. The decision to issue NAFI-sponsored credit shall not be based on rank or grade. Credit shall be issued based on total family income and commercial credit histories. NAFIs shall obtain commercial credit checks on all new accounts and shall provide both good and bad credit reports to the credit bureaus, consistent with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Privacy Act (references (ac) and (ad)).
5.7.5.3. In accordance with DoD Directive 1330.9 (reference (ae)), the Armed Services Exchanges shall only use a single, joint, centrally administered credit system as their internal NAFI credit system. All exchange systems shall maintain a Standard and Poors rating. The Armed Services Exchanges shall also include, as part of their annual year-end certified financial audit, an overview report that comments on the financial status of the credit program.
5.7.5.4. All NAFIs extending credit shall include the credit program in the audit coverage under reference (x).
5.7.5.5. NAFIs shall accept the Government-wide purchase card in activities where personal credit cards or other purchase cards are accommodated.
5.7.6. Borrowing. All borrowing decisions shall be based on sound economic and financial management factors. Commercial borrowing is authorized for DoD Component, Military Service, and Service headquarters echelon NAFIs only. Inter-NAFI borrowing within a Military Service shall be considered as an alternative to commercial borrowing. Loans between the DoD Components are prohibited.
5.7.7. Severance and Separation Benefits. Use of NAF to pay for severance or separation entitlements accrued during periods of employment with APF entities is prohibited.
5.7.7.1. U.S. Severance Pay and Related Benefits. NAFIs shall set aside funds on a regular basis to ensure sufficient cash availability to defray payment of severance benefits for U.S. employees when due.
5.7.7.2. Foreign National Severance Pay. NAF shall be set aside for investment on a regular and current basis when they are to be used to make direct payments to foreign national employees upon their separation from NAFI employment. Funds set aside and invested for this purpose shall be appropriately identified and restricted from other use. As a minimum, the amount set aside on a DoD Component-wide basis must be sufficient to defray all severance payments likely to become due at any point in time, without recourse to other NAFI assets within the DoD Component. The DoD Components shall establish independent audit procedures to verify the accuracy of stated foreign national severance liabilities and the adequacy of NAF reserves designated to fund the liabilities as they become due. As a hedge against foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, investments in foreign currency obligations are permitted in amounts not to exceed the local currency value of the liabilities.
5.7.8. Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). Upon notification that an installation or activity is subject to closure under BRAC action, the DoD Component shall immediately take action to preclude unnecessary dissipation of NAF assets prior to dissolution of the NAFI. The successor NAFI shall monitor the closing to ensure the prudent expenditure of NAF and disposition of property. A terminal audit shall be performed to identify the amount of residual NAF assets or liabilities to be transferred to the successor NAFI. The terminal audit shall also identify the book value of NAF assets, the proceeds of whose transfer or disposal shall be identified for future claims against the Reserve Accounts.
5.7.8.1. The Reserve Account, created by Section 344 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993, Public Law 102-190 (reference (af)), receives the proceeds equal to the book value of NAF real property or facilities transferred or disposed in connection with the closure or realignment of a military installation before January 1, 2005. The Reserve Account funds are not available until an Appropriations Act provides for their use. Reserve Account funds may only be used for acquiring, constructing, and improving commissaries and NAF real property and facilities.
5.7.8.2. The DoD Base Closure Account 2005, created by Section 3005 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002, Public Law 107-107 (reference (af)), receives the proceeds equal to the book value of NAF real property or facilities transferred or disposed of in connection with the closure or realignment of a military installation approved after January 1, 2005. These funds may be used without further appropriation for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, and improving real property and facilities for NAFIs.
5.7.8.3. NAFI personal property assets shall be redistributed in accordance with DoD Directive 5410.12 (reference (ag)), when a NAFI disestablishes due to a complete or partial closure of a military installation or a cutback in DoD personnel, except that NAFI personal property assets may be removed at the Military Service's discretion.
5.7.8.4. Category C activities at installations identified for closure under BRAC procedures may receive APF support authorized for Category B activities. APF may finance costs that are a direct result of an approved BRAC action. Those costs include, but are not limited to, PCS for NAF employees, NAFI unemployment and severance payments associated with NAF personnel, and facilities construction. NAFI realignment and closure costs are authorized funding from all BRAC accounts, not just the Reserve Account.
5.7.8.5. NAF are prohibited from funding the disposal of excess or surplus property disposal or unemployment compensation resulting from a BRAC action.
5.7.9. Disposition of Government Property. In accordance with 40 U.S.C. 574 (reference (ah)), the net proceeds from the sale of a building or structure, acquired or constructed using NAF resources and subsequently sold upon disposition of Government property, other than under BRAC legislation, shall be credited to the applicable NAFI as determined by the DoD Component concerned. When the DoD Component deems it uneconomical or impractical to ascertain the amount of net proceeds, the proceeds shall be credited to miscellaneous receipts of the U.S. Treasury.
5.7.10. Retirement Plan Funding. Policies pertaining to the management, investment, and administration of pension plans for NAF employees are contained in reference (e).
5.7.11. Foreign Currency. In foreign areas, there may be valid reasons to acquire foreign currencies to reduce risks associated with fluctuations in exchange rates for known NAFI obligations payable in foreign currencies such as payrolls or construction contracts. Enclosure 9 addresses NAFI management of foreign currency.
5.7.12.1. Federal Alcoholic Beverage Tax
5.7.12.1.1. Each installation NAFI is a separate business enterprise and, in the case of alcoholic beverages, shall pay only one wholesale dealer tax (if it sells only at wholesale) or one retail dealer tax (if it sells only at retail) regardless of the number of annexes it operates. However, each NAFI must pay one tax as a wholesaler or as a retailer. Every NAFI selling alcoholic beverages at wholesale must pay a tax as a wholesale dealer. However, if the NAFI also sells at retail, it need not pay an additional retail tax.
5.7.12.1.2. Every NAFI wholesaling or transferring alcoholic beverages from one NAFI to another (except in case of dissolution of the NAFI) must pay a tax as a wholesale dealer.
5.7.12.2. Federal Taxes Paid Indirectly. Taxes on articles or services must be paid by the entity upon which the taxes are levied, whether or not the articles or services may be furnished for the use of, or the sale in, NAFI activities. However, in general, there is provision for exemption from these taxes when the articles or services are sold to a NAFI for resale outside the United States and its territories on the following items: alcoholic liquors tax, beer tax, and tobacco tax.
5.7.12.3. Federal Taxes Not Applicable. NAFIs are exempt from payment of Federal income taxes and are not required to file returns.
5.7.12.4. Communication With Federal Authorities. The initiation of inquiries or replies to Federal authorities regarding taxation and regulations affecting NAFIs shall be cleared through official channels, as determined by the DoD Components.
5.7.12.5. State and Local Laws, Regulations, and Taxes
5.7.5.12.1. Instrumentalities of the U.S. Government are not subject to direct taxation by State or local tax authorities, except when specifically authorized by Federal statute.
5.7.12.5.2. Military Departments shall determine the need for routine inquiries to State officials on matters pertaining to taxation and regulations of liquors, tobacco products, soft drinks, and automobiles.
5.7.12.5.3. NAFIs, established pursuant to regulations, shall not be subject to State and local laws, regulations, control, or taxation unless specifically authorized by Federal statute. However, it is DoD policy to cooperate with State and local officials to the degree that such cooperation is not construed as a submission to State and local regulations and control and such cooperation does not adversely affect the Department's mission or programs.
5.7.12.6. Non-applicable Taxes. NAFIs are exempt from the payment of State and local taxes, including, but not limited to:
5.7.12.6.1. Unemployment insurance taxes and contributions.
5.7.12.6.3. Real estate and personal property taxes.
5.7.12.6.4. Sales, use, and license taxes on property purchased for consumption or resale.
5.7.12.6.5. Excise taxes on alcoholic beverages imposed directly on NAFIs.
5.7.12.7. State or Local Tax-Free Products. Commanders shall establish a system within each activity to regulate and monitor sales of tax-free cigarettes and alcoholic beverages in NAFIs.
5.7.12.8. Concession Activities. Concessionaire-operated activities on military installations are subject to State and local sales and use taxes.
5.7.12.9. Withholding State and Local Income Taxes. NAFIs shall withhold taxes from the wages of civilian employees for, and remit them to, tax jurisdictions wherever the Federal Government has entered into agreements for withholding taxes. State and local taxes shall be withheld from the pay of enlisted personnel compensated from NAF for work performed during off-duty hours.
5.7.12.10. Foreign Taxes. NAFIs located in foreign countries shall not pay to nor collect for any foreign country or political subdivision any tax unless the United States has consented to levy collection by treaty, convention, or executive agreement.
5.7.12.11. Distributions of Dividends. The DoD Components shall ensure that funds received from the Armed Services Exchanges are equitably distributed by Military Service headquarters, major commands, local commands, or a combination of these based upon demonstrated military MWR program nonappropriated funding requirements.
5.8. Auditing. The DoD Components shall provide for the periodic review and audit of NAFIs, as required in DoD Directive 7600.2 (reference (ai)) and reference (x).
5.8.1. Internal Audits and Inspections. The DoD Components or the delegated Military Service or Service Headquarters shall determine and require such internal audits and inspections, as they may consider necessary or desirable. Internal audits shall meet the requirements in references (ai) and (x). Specific items of inquiry shall be included in the Military Service's Inspector General checklists.
5.8.2. External Audits. Each Military Service shall require an annual Service-wide audit of its NAFIs by an independent audit organization. These audits shall include the Headquarters NAFIs and such intermediate-level and individual NAFIs as may be necessary to permit the auditors to express an opinion as to the financial condition of the NAFIs under the cognizance of the Military Services. Audits by certified public accountants shall comply with reference (x).
5.9. Risk Management. The DoD Components shall ensure that NAF assets are adequately protected against loss. Risk management programs, to include self-insurance and commercial coverage, shall be centrally administered for a Program Group at the DoD Component, Military Service, or Service Headquarters echelon.
