BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Major Deficiencies In Army's

Washington, D.C. Finance And

Accounting Operation


Over the past several years, employees of the
Military District of Washington's Finance and
Accounting Office have been found guilty of
or have confessed to fraudulent actions involv-
ing over $50,000. Also, within a short period
of time, the Office made hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars of erroneous payments for
goods, services, and civilian pay. Further, ac-
counting support provided by the Office to
organizations located in the Washington area
was inadequate because many errors were
made in preparing accounting reports.


Contributing to the Office's ineffectiveness
were breakdowns in its accounting procedures
and controls. The Office's most pressing prob-
lem is, however, its failure to hire and retain
enough competent personnel to perform its as-
signed mission. Defense concurred with GAO's
recommendations which are designed to im-
prove the Office's work force and its account-
ing systems and related internal controls.
