We found 10 errors -- six involve leave and four withholding and FICA taxes. For example: an officer was underpaid $260.10 because a 60-day quarters allowance was not included in his lump sum leave settlement. -* an enlisted member's taxable income was understated by $270.78 because part of his basic pay was not re- ported as taxable income. In a prior review of 13 pay records irregularly closed in the 6-month period ended December 31, 1969, we found similar errors on six records. We also examined military travel vouchers paid in this period and found a high incidence of error in payments for permanent change of station and temporary additional duty. We found errors on 22 of 56 vouchers examined. We believe you and your disbursing officer should inquire into the causes of these errors and take action to prevent their recurrence. To assiqt you, we have enclosed copies of our notices of exception and informal inquiries on the more serious discrepancies and an appendix listing all of the errors. We will gladly provide any additional details you may need. We would appreciate your comments on our observations and advice of any actions taken. We are sending copies of this report to the Comptroller of the Navy; the Director, Navy Military Pay System; the Commanding Officer, 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971011
