Fulton (AS-11) FPO New York Dear Sir: As part of our continuing review of the Navy's financial management system, we have examined selected vouchers in your disbursing officer's accounts for the 6 months ended February 1975. Of the 313 vouchers we examined, 63 had one or more monetary errors -- an error rate of 20 percent. These errors, totaling $2,108, are summarized in the appendix. About 75 percent of the erroneous payments involved per diem; the majority were found on overseas travel vouchers. The predominant types are discussed below. --Per diem authorized by regulations for overseas travel between stations was not always paid or was paid at wrong rates. In several instances the former $8 rate was used instead of the current $25 rate, in effect since December 1, 1973. In other instances, rates for specific locations were used instead of the $25 travel rate. See paragraphs M4253-3 and 4 of the JTR and vouchers 17039, 17049, 17455 and 17462. --Per diem at overseas temporary duty stations was paid at rates other than those prescribed by appendix A, JTR. Vouchers 17046 and 17202 are examples. --Per diem for the day of return to overseas permanent duty stations was not reduced by 50 percent as required by paragraph M4254-1 of the JTR. Vouchers 17046 and 17970 are examples.
