Assistant Secretary of the Army (Financial Management and Comptroller) (abbreviated ASA(FM&C)) is a civilian office in the United States Department of the Army.
The office of Assistant Secretary of the Army (Financial Management and Comptroller) grows out of a reorganization of the Department of the Army initiated in 1954 by United States Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens and largely designed by United States Under Secretary of the Army John Slezak.{{cite web|url=http://www.history.army.mil/books/root/chapter6.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100608154307/http://www.history.army.mil/books/root/chapter6.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 June 2010 |title=James E.
