     Dear Sir:

          We have reviewed the civilian payroll accounts processed by
     your installation for the period October 5, 1969, through October 3,
     1970.

          Our review was directed toward an evaluation of the operating
     procedures and internal controls applied in the payroll system.
     The review included detailed examinations in the areas of within-
     grade increases (WGI), conversion to the Coordinated Federal Wage
     System, and pay under the Federal Employees Salary Act of 1970.
     Employee accounts used in the detailed examination were selected
     using generally accepted sampling techniques.  Also included in
     our review was an evaluation of the procedures and controls
     employed in the administration of severance payments to involun-
     tarily separated civilian employees.

          We inquired as to whether any audits had been made of civilian
     pay.by the U. S. Army Audit Agency and the Internal and Commercial
     Review Division.  We were advised that these organizations have not
     made any audits of civilian pay since our last audit.

          Deficiencies noted, which were discussed with the Director,
     Arsenal Support Operations Directorate, and members of his staff
     at the conclusion of our review, are summarized below.

     ERRONEOUS PAYMENTS

          One employee was overpaid due to receiving a WGI one pay
     period early.  The WGI should have been delayed one pay period
     because the employee had excess time in a non-pay status during
     the waiting period.  FFM Supplement 990-2.

          Two severance pay recipients were overpaid for two pay periods.
     Qne was overpaid because the re-employing agency failed to provide
     timely notice of reemployment as required by FPM Supplement 990-2.
