Major General C. W. Hoffman
Commanding General                  v
Marine Corps Base
Camp Pendleton, Ca.  92055

Dear Sir:

     We have completed our review of actions taken by the Marine Corps
Base (MCB) disbursing office and selected MCB administrative units in
response to the Marine Corps Disbursing On-Site Examination Team
(MCDOSET) audit report dated June 25, 1975.

     The MCDOSET audit, conducted from May 19 through June 12, 1975,
covered MCB disbursing support of 13 MOB units and six lst Marine
Division units, and the administrative operations of the 13 MCB units
only.  A total of 649 Discrepancy Notices (DN's) were issued, 490 of
which dealt with actual or potential monetary errors.  MCO 7220.130
states that the disbursing officer or unit commanding officer should
respond to the DN's within 30 days from date of issuance.

     To determine the timeliness and propriety of corrective actions
taken on the DN's we selected 83 DN's containing a total of 97 mone-
tary errors for follow-up examination.  Forty-two of the 97 errors
were detected during the audit of the disbursing office activities
and 55 were detected at various MCB administrative units.  Through
record examinations and discussions with responsible officials we
found that 90 of the 97 errors had been corrected or appropriate
corrective actions had been initiated as of July 28, 1975.

     Three of the 7 uncorrected errors had been detected at the dis-
bursing office and were of such a nature that only a unit diary entry
originating at the member's administrative unit would affect the
correction.  Disbursing had twice notified the applicable adminis-
trative units of the action that should be taken, however, the
administrative units had not responded.  The units in question were
A Company and B Company, 3rd AMTRAC En., 1st Division, and the MP
Company, Security Bn., MCB.

     The remaining 4 uncorrected errors were detected at the Head-
quarters Company, Headquarters and Support Bn., MCB.  A total of 147
DN's were issued against this unit, 56 of which were pending
