                                                          TAR  14 1989




          Mr.  Clarke Harper
          Associate Administrator
             for Administration
           Federal Aviation Administration
           Washangton, D. C.  20590

           Dear Mr. Harper.

                We have reviewed selected administrative operations and
           related financial transactions of the Office of Headquarters Opera-
           tions (HQ) in the Washington headquarters office, Federal Aviation
           Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation, for the purpose
           of settling the accounts of certifying officers covering fiscal
           years 1965 through 1967. In addition to the financial transactions
           applicable to FAA Headquarters Operations, our review included those
           applicable to the operations of FAA's Europe, Africa, Middle East
           Region and the Bureau of National Capital Airports (BNCA) for which
           HQ maintains separate accounting records.

                Our review was directed primarily toward evaluating current
           administrative procedures and controls, and included such tests of
           financial transactions as we considered appropriate. In determin-
           ing the scope of our work, we considered the extent of internal audit
           coverage of payroll activities.

                During our review, we noted several deficiencies which resulted,
           in our opinion, from inadequate supervision and review of the work
           performed by the HQ accounting personnel. Further, we noted a gen-
           eral lack of familiarity with pertinent agenpy regulations at the
           supervisory level. We discussed this matter with HQ officials who
           agreed and recognized the need for adequate supervision and review
           and more detailed written piocedures to augment those comprising
           FAA's accounting system. The officials stated, however, that at
           the present time, there were not enough qualified personnel avail-
           able in HQ to carry out all of the needed corrective actions, par-
           ticularly those dealing with better supervision over HQ accounting
           opprations.
