Dear Sir:                                                    LM092372

     We have completed our survey of accrued expenditure reporting proce-
dures at Warner Robins Air Materiel Area (WRAMA), Robins Air Force Base,
Georgia.  The work performed was part of a survey of the communication
and control of accrued expenditure data at selected activities An the
Department of Defense (DOD).  The results of our work are intended pri-
marily for the information of the Steering Committee of the President's
Commission on Budget Concepts.

     The survey was directed mainly toward determining how well existing
communications and processing systems were operating in providing accrued
expenditure data as of June 30, 1971, and monthly thereafter.  Emphasis
was placed on identifying the actual procedures followed by WRAMA and
determining whether these procedures were in accordance with the instruc-
tions and regulations of the Air Force, the DOD, the Office of Management
and Budget, and the Treasury Department.

     We identified several problem areas which were discussed with WRAMA
Comptroller officials.  Our observations on these matters and the corrective
actions implemented or planned are summarized below,

Unaccrued interfund billings

     Unpaid interfund billings on hand at month end, other than those
 charging fund code 6H (Systems Support Stock Fund), were not accrued. We
 discussed this matter with WRAMA officials who concluded that existing
 directives were not clear as to field responsibilities for reporting
 accruals for unpaid interfund billings. As a result, WRAMA officials
 issued a local instruction for reporting these accruals. However, the
 procedures established at WRAMA to report these accruals were found to
 be cumbersome. The Chief, Accounting and Finance Division, thereupon
 wrote a letter to Headquarters, Air Force Logistics Command, recommending
 that the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center account for these accruals.
 Current procedures require that all interfund billing transactions be
 cleared through the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center which matches
 buyer and seller transactions. Differences are monitored and reflected
 as undistributed expenditures in status of fund reports. The letter
 recommended that the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center account for
 these undistributed expenditures under the concept outlined in AFR 177-11,
