AIMD-93-71R 1 (1993-09-16)

handle is hein.gao/gaobackkg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: S-W- fl AI\ United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Accounting and Information Management Division B-254593 September 16, 1993 The Honorable Sam Nunn Chairman, Committee on Armed Services United States Senate The Honorable Ronald V. Dellums Chairman, Committee on 149925 Armed Services House of Representatives This letter summarizes our actions in response to congressional interest in the General Accounting Office (GAO) assessing the Defense Finance and Accounting Service's (DFAS) support of its customers and Its plans to implement joint military pay systems. That interest is reflected in directives contained in the Senate report (S. Rept. 102-352) and conference report (H.R. Rept. 102-966) on the-National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 and in subsequent discussions with the Senate Armed Services staff. On February 18, 1993, we met with the Senate Armed Services staff to brief them on audit work already underway in this area by GAO and the Army Inspector General (IG). It was agreed that completing our ongoing work, which included evaluating the Army's implementation of a joint services software (JSS) military payroll system and assessing whether the system should be expanded to the Navy, together with the IG's work, would address the subject of the directives. Our evaluation of JSS was being done pursuant to our audit of the Army's fiscal year 1992 financial statements. More specifically, our work focused on identifying major JSS pay computation, accountability, and internal control problems, which the Army will have to correct and which would constitute impediments to expanding JSS to the Navy. At this meeting, we advised Senate Armed Services staff that the IG was also inspecting the Armyls worldwide implementation of JSS, focusing in particular on commander support of JSS, implementation of JSS at the installation level, and soldier satisfaction with the new pay system. The IG expects to issue a report by the end of September 1993 and has agreed to provide it to your staffs at that time. GAO/AIMD-93-71R Defense Financial Management Issues ost 1I5/1q1125
