POC1/THOMAS BIRCHALL/DC, P&R-RFD/TEL: COMM (703) 614-3598/EMAIL:  [email protected]//POC2 LTCOL ISAAC BAKER/DC, P&R-RFD/TEL:  COMM (703) 693-9823// 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.//
