This error was an underpayment on voucher number T-8674 caused by the use of an in- correct distance for travel from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. Mileage was based on 708 miles rather than the correct distance of 1512 miles. In addition to the audit of travel vouchers for monetary errors, we examined the vouchers of military memberb for accuracy of compu- tation of delay en route chargeable as leave and for timeliness of input of leave information to the members' centralized leave accounts. This is in addition to the Interim Leave System examination, the results of which were reported to you by our letter of July 25, 1973. Of the 167 travel vouchers in our sample, 11 showed delay en route. We are pleased to report that our examination of these 11 vouchers showed that all periods of leave were transmitted for posting with the correct number of days and that the periods of leave were entered on the Daily Transaction Listings on a timely basis after payment was made for the travel. Our prior letter dated November 16, 1971, covering the audit of vouchers for the period July 1, 1970 through March 31, 1971, reported one error for travel vouchers (error rate 0.7) and three errors for TLA vouchers (error rate 11.1). The findings of our current audit indicate that your controls for voucher payments are satisfactory. C ( K t
