Dear Sir:

     We have completed a  survey of military pay and personnel data of
1st Division units as  recorded in the Joint Uniform Military Pay
System/Manpower Management  System (JUMPS/MMS).  The survey covered
samples of records  selected at random from 11 units and was directed
primarily to pay/personnel  actions occurring from January 1 through
June 30, 1975.  We ivated  to determine whether the Division's pro-
cedures and controls resulted  in prompt and accurate reporting of
such actions and to insure  that the JUMPS/MM1IS computer records agree
with official documentation  in the pay and personnel records.

     During our close-out  conference we provided your Chief of Staff
with preliminary data on  10 of the 11 units surveyed.  The following
summarizes the survey results  for all 11 units.

RECORDS IN ERROR

     From a universe of 2,648 members we  examined JUMPS/MMS related
records of 209 members.   The sample included 83 members whose records
contained one or more  errors. This number  included:

     --62 with actual  or potential monetary errors in
       the J1MS/MM24S record.

     --8 with actual or potential monetary  errors in
       the JUMPS/1fM4S record and omission or inaccuracies
       in the official personnel  record.

     --13 with errors  only in the official personnel
       record which. would be unlikely to result in
       erroneous payments.

The percent of records with  errors ranged from about 20 percent to
67 percent among  the units surveyed and totaled about 40 percent for
all 11 units.   (See apoendix I.)
