This revew, completed in October 1970, was made pursuant to the Budget and Accounting Act, 1921 (31 U.S.C. 53), and the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67). The review covered (1) Internal Controls, (2) Internal Review, (3) Within-grade Increases, (4) Salary Act of 1970, (5) Coordinated Federal Wage System, and (6) Severance Pay. The primary purpose of the review is to provide information on Defense-wide administration of civilian pay and allowances. Employees accounts were first selected on a statistical sample basis. Errors disclosed in this sample will be combined with those of other installations reviewed, and the results considered for statistical projection for a Defense-wide report. We did not arrive at an error rate since the sample at any individual installation is too small to project. We did, however, expand our review at your installation by selecting additional records on a judgment sample basis. Our review indicated that the procedures and controls for processing civilian payrolls were generally adequate. However, a 1969 review by the Civil Service Commission of the conversion to the Coordinated Federal Wage System disclosed that a failure to provide sufficient guidance and the lack of an independent review resulted in nine wage rate errors. We believe that in such non-routine actions as a wage system revision or a retroactive pay increase, Personnel and Payroll employees should be given additional training and their work more closely reviewed and supervised than is necessary for routine actions. & / 11 1971
