handle is hein.gao/gaobabkfx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: S490 UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 2~ 7 0C2 OF GENERAL COUNSEL B-203025 October 30, 1981 The Honorable Gerald P. Carmen Administrator of General Services Dear Mr. Carmen: This is in response to a letter from Mr. Louis W. Jennis, Acting Director, Finance Division, dated April 22, 1981, requesting that Mrs. Mary L. Jackson, Imprest Fund Cashier at the General Services Administration, Region 3 Office, be relieved of liability for the loss of a check issued by the Department of the Treasuty in the amount of $1,907.29. According to the record, on November 29, 1979, Treasury issued a check for $1,907.29 to the Finance Division of GSA, Region 3, to replenish its imprest fund. The payee of the check was Mrs. Jackson. She never received this check. A Federal Protective Service (FPS) report of investigation dated January 30, 1980, states that according to John Thompson, Regional Administrator of Region 3, it has not been determined whether the check was stolen prior to being delivered or whether it was stolen after being delivered to the GSA mailroom. Additionally, an investigation by the Secret Service concluded that the check was stolen and subsequently negotiated by a private citizen and that Mrs. Jackson was not responsible for this loss. As Mrs. Jackson never received this check, issued by Treasury for replenishment of the imprest fund of GSA, Region 3, she cannot be considered an accountable officer with respect to the loss of this check. Thus, it is not necessary to grant relief to Mrs. Jackson for this loss. We have been informally advised by Treasury, however, that Treasury is the proper agency to contact when a .replenishment check it issues is lost. Treasury has the authority to eliminate the deficiency in the imprest fund of GSA, Region 3, caused by the loss of this check. Specifically, we have been informed that the disburs- ing office which issued the check is the proper authority within Treasury to contact to institute procedures which ultimately could result in a replacement check being issued, which would thereby eliminate the deficiency in the imprest fund of GSA, Region 3.
