UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

NAXIONAL SECURITV AND JULY 26, 1985
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIVISION
B-216944I
Rear Admiral L. A. Wilkinson, Jr.
Director, Defense Mapping Agency 1Z7521
Dear Admiral Wilkinson:
Subject: Defense Mapping Agency's Progress in Complying
with the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity
Act of 1982 (GAO/NSIAD-85-116)
We have concluded our review of the Defense Mapping
Agency's (DNA's) continuing efforts to implement and comply with
the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act (FIA) of 1982 [31
U.S.C. 3512(b) and (c)]. The act is a result of a government-
wide campaign to improve control over its operations and to
better protect and safeguard federal resources by reducing
fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. Our review concentrated
on sections 2 and 4 of the 4ct. Section 2 requires the heads of
federal agencies to evaluate and report annually to the
President and the Congress on the status of its systems of
internal accounting and administrative controls. Section 4
requires agencies to report on whether their accounting systems
conform to the principles, standards, and related requirements
prescribed by the Comptroller General.
In December 1984, the Secretary of Defense provided his
second annual report to the President and the Congress on the
Department of Defense's (DOD's) compliance with the act. The
report was based on separate reports from 24 DOD reporting
centers, one of which was DMA. As required by DOD instructions,
reports are to be provided each year and used as the basis for
the Secretary of Defense's annual report.
DOD's Inspector General's Office reviewed DMA's internal
control program and found that the internal management control
evaluation and reporting process used by DMA complies with the
requirements of the act and with the Office of Management and
Budget's (OMB's) guidelines. The Inspector General had no find-
ings to report. The results of this review were provided to you
for consideration in preparing your 1984 report to the Secretary
of Defense.
