Stoner, Jr , USA Commander . U.S Army Electronics Command Fort Monmouth, New Jersey 07703 Dear General Stonei. In recent years there has been a serious breakdown in financial control over Army procutement appropriations which resulted in violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act. The Chairman, 4ouse Appropriations Committee, in November 1975, requested us -to review certain aspects of this situation and we did so at numerous Army locations, including the U S Army Electronics C mmand (ECOM). On November 5, 1976, we issued a report to the Chairman (FGMSD-16-74) on the overall results of the first phase of our review which dealt with the amounts and causes of violations Since then, we have concentrated on evaluating the Army's efforts to improve its financial management system. Out final report to the Chairman is currently being prepared and will summarize the results of our review at all locations visited, including your command The purpose of this letter is to inform you of several matters we noted at ECOM which will not be included in our final report. These matters affect the accuracy and reliability of ECOM's financial records and reports and can be corrected by your staff BACKGROUND ECOM and the other commodity commands report customer orders received to the U S Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) and Army Headquarters Since the dollar amounts 1o-Tfi- orders are treated as increases to the Army's obligational authority, accurate recording and reporting of customer orders is essential The Army's breakdown in financial management included loss of control over the recording of customer orders at ECOM and other commands
