handle is hein.gao/gaobabehm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE U,S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Secretary Of Defense Navy's Progress In Improving Physical Inventory Controls And The Magnitude, Causes, And Impact Of Inventory Record Inaccuracies In The Army, Air Force, And Defense Logistics Agency This review was performed at the request of the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Readiness, House Committee on Armed Services. In response to the Subcomittee's concern, the Navy has developed and is making good progress in executing a plan of action to improve physical inventory controls and security over supply system inventories. The agnitude and impact of the inventory accuracy problem in the Army, Air Force, and DLA are much greater than previously reco Ignized by DOD and its components. The value of physical inve ptory adjustments reported by these agencies significantly und rstates the true extent of their inventory record inaccu- raci s. Acceptable levels of inventory record accuracy are not bein achieved because the basic causes of recurring errors are gen, rally not being identified and corrected. These conditions are :ue to inadequate management emphasis and priority, noncompliance with DOD's policy, as well as inadequacies in the policy and implementing procedures and practices, a shor age of qualified personnel, and a lack of individual accounta- bilit, for action affecting inventory record accuracy. GAO is recommending that the Secretary of Defense take a number of actions to bring about needed improvements in phy ical inventory controls and inventory record accuracy. \ t.D S7 U UI ff1 1111 _122752 0 S% N/IGAO/NSAD-84-9 ,r1COU!4-\ .A'V1-' , I NOVEMBER 4, 1983
