Dear Sir:

     We have completed our review of civilian pay and allowances at
the New Cumberland Army Depot (NCAD).  This review was part of an
overall review of civilian pay activities at Department of Defense
installations.  The review covered the period October 11, 1970
through May 4, 19711.

     Our examination of payroll transactions and personnel actions
was directed toward an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness
of the SPEEDEX Civilian Pay and Leave Accounting System, including
internal manual controls.  We reviewed the SPEEDEX system design and
documentation at the Logistics Systems Support Agency (LSSA) prior
to the start of our review at NCAD.

     We believe the NCAD civilian pay system is generally adequate,
pay actions are processed in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, and the verification procedures generally insure the
detection and correction of errors.  However, we observed a few areas
where  internal controls need to be strengthened. These areas which
were brought to the attention of NCAD officials during our review
and at the exit conference are described below.

     1.  The civilian personnel office has no control to ascertain
whether all source documents forwarded to the payroll activity are
processed properly and no unauthorized alterations have been made.
Control over these documents is essential to assure the accuracy of
permanent changes entered into the mechanized system.  The SPEEDEX
system as designed does not provide for this processing control.
We plan to recommend to LSSA that a control over permanent personnel
actions be added to the system.

     2.  The SPEEDEX system is programed to compute pay for second
and third shift overime  for wage board employees when the time and
attendance report  is correctly coded with the applicable shift code
