     Attention: Assistant Secretary of Defense
                 (Comptroller)

Dear Mr. Secretary:

     Subject: Approval of the Design of the Army Customer
                rder Control System (AFMD-81-88)
                                 ej


     It is my pleasure to approve the design of the Army Customer Order
Control System submitted with your letter of June 26, 1981, as being in con-
formity in all material aspects with the approved accounting principles and
standards of the.Department of the Army. This system is designed to control
and record requests to the Defense Security Assistance Accounting Center by
the Army for Foreign Military Sales obligation authority, issuance of that
authority to the Army and subsequent Army utilization of that authority to
fill customer orders. The system is not a complete accounting system in
that it relates only to control of Foreign Military Sales obligation authority,
funded reimbursement authority and reimbursable program authority.

     In evaluating the system design, we looked at the automatic data
processing aspects primarily to determine their adequacy as to-internal con-
trols, audit trails, data integrity, and consistency with the accounting
specifications.

     To maintain the approved status of the design, planned changes should
be discussed with our representatives and, if deemed significant, submitted
formally for approval.

     We note that the system has been in operation for some time. We suggest
that the Army Audit Agency periodically review the system to assure that it
is operating as designed. At some future date we will examine the system,
or selected aspects thereof, and advise you as to whether it is functioning
effectively and is in accordance with this approval.

     Please express our appreciation to the staff at the U.S. Army Finance
and Accounting Center for their cooperation during the evaluation.

                                      Sincerely yours,



                                      Acting Conipt  It   eea
                                      of the United States
