Dear General Blairs

     We have made a review for the settlement of the accounts  of certi-
fying officers at the West Virginia State Headquarters, Selective  Service
System, through June 30, 1971.

     Each agency has the basic responsibility  for proper accounting and
internal control to provide assurance of the  legality, propriety, and
correctness of disbursements and collection of public  funds.  Accordingly,
we made such tests of transactions as we deemed appropriate  and consi-
dered the report and workpapers of the most recent  audit by your National
Headquarters Field Auditors in setting the  scope of our review.  We did
not examine program activities.

     Our review disclosed that, generally, the  administrative procedures
and controls were satisfactory except in the Personnel  and Payroll
Branch where we found deficiencies similar  to those reported earlier by
the National Headquarters Field Auditors.

     The Field Auditors made an audit of property  and fiscal records and
accounts including pay, personnel,  leave and retirement covering the
period March 11, 1967 through September  18, 1969. During  their audit
they found that (1) service histories on many  Individual Retirement
Records required updating or completion,  (2) postings for a majority of
Individual Pay Cards were omitted, and  some were incomplete or erroneous,
and (3) unapplied savings bonds balances  shown on the Individual Pay
Cards did not agree with the general  ledger control account.

     Although these matters were reported by  the Field Auditors in their
report dated November 3, 1969, we  found that corrective action had not
been taken at the time of our review.   During  our review we traced (1) for
28 employees the postings of 74 personnel actions,  issued in calendar
year 1970, to the Individual Retirement Records  and (2) the postings of
123 personnel actions, issued in calendar years  1970 and 1971, to the
Individual Pay Cards.  We found 22 omissions  of entries on the Individual
