U.S.S. ROBERT E. PEARY  (DE-1073)
FPO San Francisco
Dear Sir;
     As part of our continuing review  of the
Navy's financial management  system, we examined
selected transactions  in the accounts of the
U.S.S. PEARY for the 6 months  ended June 30,
1973.  Of the 248 records we  examined, 52 had
errors -- causing erroneous payments  to crew
members and a private mess  and incorrect leave
balances.  The errors are  summarized in the
appendix.
     As shown  in the appendix, errors in
computing leave balances were  predominant.  The
other most common pay  and allowance errors in-
volved clothing maintenance  allowance and basic
pay rates.  Most of  the voucher errors covered
payment of mileage  at the wrong rate and er-
roneous payments of per  diem for group travel.
     We were unable  to pinpoint responsibility
or determine  specific causes of the errors
since our review was  limited to records at the
Navy Finance Center,  Cleveland.  However, er-
rors of these  types are usually attributed to
the disbursing office  and can be minimized by
becoming more  familiar with applicable regu-
lations, having  effective supervisory reviews,
and being more  careful in performing routine
tasks.
