Whitaker Director, Veterans Administration Hospital Shreveport, Louisiana 71101 Dear Mr. Whitaker: We have made a review for the settlement of accounts of accountable officers of the Veterans Administration Hospital, Shreveport, Louisiana, through June 30, 1970. Our review 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). Our review, completed in December 1970, was directed primarily toward evaluating current administrative procedures and controls related to receipts and disbursements (including payrolls) and included such tests of financial transactions as we considered appropriate. In making our review, we considered the report and working papers prepared by representatives of the Office of the Controller, Veterans Administration, during their latest audit concluded in June 1970 and the audits performed in fiscal year 1970 by the Fiscal Division personnel of the Shreveport Hospital. Program operations were not included in our review. I We are pleased to report that administrative procedures and internal controls in the areas reviewed were generally adequate. However, we noted (1) a need for more detailed information on the nature of real estate fees that were reimbursed to employees after they had changed permanent duty stations, (2) undelivered oiders were not reviewed each month to determine their status as required by Veterans Administration Manual MP IV Part V and (3) estimated real estate expense on permanent change of station travel was being obligated at the time travel was authorized rather than in the month that final settlement is made by the employee on the sale and purchase of home. (Veterans Administration Manual MP IV Part V). These matters were discussed with you and members of your staff and appropriate corrective action was promised.
