         A questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate zhe
procedures and controls of revenue and expenditure transactions
of the Drug Enforcement administration. The questionnaire
covered the system of internal controls over collections,
disbursements, imprest funds, and obligations.
Findings/Conclusions: responses indicated potential weaknesses
in the financial manageaent system. The agency needs to: improve
controls over the disposition of seized and recovered funds,
isprove control of collections, have headquarters acknowledge
receipt of collections, periodically review outstanding travel
advances, segregate duties of cashiers, explain missed discounts
in writing, and adequately support estimates of obligations.
Although corrective actions sere taken or promised in most
cases, followup on these actions was suggested to determine
whether the corrective actions were adequate. (Author/HTI)
