 Dear Sir:

      Our audit of travel and temporary lodging allowance (TLA) vouchers
 paid by the accounting and finance officer at Royal Air Force Upper
 Heyford for the period October 1 through 31, 1974, disclosed one error
 for $16.96 in a sample of 156 travel voucher payments, an error rate
 of 0.7 compared to the Air Force-wide error rate of 1.5. This error
 was an overpayment on voucher number T-2254 caused by the use of an
 incorrect distance for travel from Charleston Air Force Base, South
 Carolina to Craig Air Force Base, Alabama. Mileage was based on 708
 miles rather than the correct distance of 496 miles.

      The findings of our audit indicate that your controls for travel
 and temporary lodging allowance payments are satisfactory.

      We also examined the travel vouchers of military members for
 accuracy of computation of delay en route chargeable as leave and for
 timeliness of input of leave information to the members' centralized
 leave accounts.

      Of the 156 travel vouchers in our sample, 26 showed delay en
 route.  We are pleased to report that our examination of the 26
 vouchers (which involved 28 periods of leave) showed that the periods
 of leave were transmitted for posting with the correct number of days.
 The elapsed time between payment of the vouchers and their inclusion
 in the Daily Transaction Listings ranged from 0 to 30 days. Since
 the effectiveness of the JUMPS leave accounting depends upon timely
 input of leave information, action should be taken to improve time-
 liness.
