bear Sir:

     We have completed our review of civilian  payroll
practices and procedures at  the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard,
Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii  (PHNS) for the period May 1969
through May  1970.

     Our review was directed primarily at determining  the
propriety of salary rates and  the effectiveness of time and
attendance reporting procedures and  controls.  In our review,
we considered the reviews performed during  the period March -
May 1969 by the Naval Area Audit Service and on a  continuing
basis by the PHNS Internal Review Division, Comptroller
Department.

     We found that  the payroll practices and piocedures were
generally adequate, although certain minor problems were noted.
These included (1) the overpayment of $11.20  to one employee
because of an inaccurate computation of  retroactive pay,
(2) the questionable practice of precertification of time
cards, (3) the inability to locate signature cards of all
certifying officers, and (4) various matters relating  to the
practices and procedures for clocking in and out.

     In addition, we noted that the last comprehensive review
of civilian pay and timekeeping functions performed by the
Internal Review Division was completed in June  1968. Accord-
ing to BUSHIPS Instruction 7540.1 dated March 18,  1966, a
review of civilian timekeeping and payroll functions will be
performed at least annually.  We were informed that a shortage
of staff had prohibited the shipyard from accomplishing these
reviews on an annual basis.
