           B-159797                                        June 30, 1981

           The Honorable Caspar W. Weinberger
           The Secretary of Defenseil                                     I

                Attention: Assistant Secretary of Defense
                            (Comptroller)
                                                                     116121
           Dear Mr. Secretary:

                Subject: Lpproval of the Functional (Accounting) Design of
                          the Program and Funds Control System Phase 11
                          (AFMD-81-89)

                It is my pleasure to approve the functional design of the Program and
           Funds Control System Phase II submitted with your letter of June 26, 1981,
           as being in conformity in all material aspects with the approved accounting
           principles and standards of the Department of the Army. This system is
           designed to control the Department of Army receipt and distribution of pro-
           gram and fund authority for Army procurement appropriations. Phase I of
           this system was approved by the Comptroller General on August 16, 1978.
           The total system controls program and funds from the Departmental to the
           installation levels. This system is not a complete accounting system in
           that it relates only to fund control.

                In evaluating Phase II of the system we did not evaluate automatic data
           processing aspects because the automated portion of the system is in the
           developmental stage.

                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 sug-
           gest 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 Compt   IlrGeea
                                                of the United States

           cc: Defense Audit Service
           be: Mr. Campbell (AFKID)                                       (931130)
4               Mrs. Robinson (AFYD)

                Mr. Donlon (AFMD)
