RELEASED I NOV 18 1971 Dear Senator Fuibright: In accordance with your request of July 16, 1971, we have audited the payroll and leave records of Mrs. Vianna Walker for the perio Ju6 1967toJuly 1971. We have discussed the results of our audit with Mrs. Walker and with officials of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Geo- logical Survey, Department of the Interior, the agency that maintained the payroll records for EPA's Office of Water Pro- grams and its predecessor agency for that period. NL q3 Our audit of Mrs. Walker's payroll records showed (1) that errors had been made in the amount of deductions for her Federal and State income taxes and for health insurance pre- miums, (2) that two checks had been issued to her for each of two pay periods in 1970 but that one check for each pay period had been voided, (3) that she had received a within-grade in- crease one pay period before she was eligible and that, as a result, she had received $8.58 more than she should have, and (4) that she had been paid under an incorrect social security number for 5 months before the error was corrected. As noted above, some of the errors have been corrected. In addition, Mrs. Walker's W-2 Forms (Wage and Tax Statement) for 1970 showed the actual amounts that had been withheld from her paychecks. Since the amounts withheld had been cred- ited against her tax liability for 1970, any overwithholding or underwithholding of taxes would have been canceled when she filed her 1970 Federal and State tax returns and paid any ad- ditional taxes due or received refunds for overpayment of taxes. As a result of errors not corrected, however, Mrs. Walker owes the Federal Government $21.94, as shown below. Net overpayment as a result of a premature within-grade increase $ 8.58 Health insurance premiums not deducted from gross pay 13.36 $21.94 Our audit of Mrs. Walker's leave records showed that her accumulated annual leave balance at July 31, 1971, was under- stated by 48 hours and her sick leave balance was overstated 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-197 .
