Dear Colonel Moore

     We have reviewed the  payroll subsystem of the Automated Payroll,
Cost and Personnel System  (APCAPS) at the Defense Depot Memphis (DDMT)
The review included an  evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of
the payroll system including  internal controls, and the administration
of leave.  We examined pertinent  Defense Supply Agency (DSA) and DDMT
regulations, the policies  and practices related to internal controls,
and discussed various  aspects of our review with responsible officials.

     Although internal  controls over payroll operations and administration
of leave were generally  adequate, we noted certain weaknesses in internal
controls and the administration  of leave.

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROLS

     The Civilian Personnel  Office maintained no control over entitle-
ment documents sent to the  Civilian Payroll Office for processing
Thus the Personnel Office lacked  assurance that the Payroll Office
considered all personnel actions,  and processed them accurately  We
believe information should be  sent to the Civilian Personnel Office
to show that the Civilian Payroll  Office has processed the actions.

     In some cases records  of leave used had not been initialed by the
employees or supported by an approved  leave request.  Although time-
keeping regulations contained no  specific requirement for such support,
we believe that effective internal  control would be strengthened by
timely approval of leave.

     The payroll office does not maintain  a listing of APCAPS error
messages   We believe this information  should be maintained on a current
basis to properly monitor  error conditions   This will require coordination
with and the assistance and  cooperation of the Data Systems Automation
Office, Columbus, Ohio.
