Commanding Officer
Navy Regional  Finance Center
San Francisco,  California

Dear Sir:

     We continuously  review the Navy's financial
management  system to stay abreast of its condition.
Part of our work  entails looking at a cross  section
of disbursing  officers' accounts.  In a recent  sample
we selected vouchers  from your April 1974 account.
Our limited  review showed no significant error  patterns,
and the monetary  errors represented a relatively  minor
portion of  the total dollars disbursed.

     Most errors  we identified were one of a  kind and
involved  small amounts.  We believe corrective
action should  be taken in the following areas where  the
frequency of  errors was higher.

     --Several  overpayments for mileage were made  to
       military  personnel because of the use of
       incorrect  distances.

     --Incorrect  per diem payments were made  to some
       civilians  because computations based on
       average  lodging costs were inaccurate  (see
       paragraphs  C8101-2a and C10105, Volume  2, JTR).

     --Incorrect  per diem payments were made  to some
       civilians  because of errors in computing  travel
       time  in a travel status.  For example,  several
       travelers  who crossed the international  date
       line were  overpaid 1 day because computation
       was not  based on elapsed time  (see paragraph
       C10100,  Volume 2, JTR).
