Dear Sir:

     We have made a review of the accounting system for Naval
Ordnance Systems Command Activities of the Navy.  This included
a review of the system in operations at Naval Ordnance Station,
Forest Park, Illinois,  Our review was made pursuant to the
Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950 (33 U.S.C. 66) based on a
request by the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) for
approval of the accounting system as conforming in all material
respects with the accounting principles and standards in Title 2
of the General Accounting Office Policy and Procedures Manual
for the Guidance of Federal Agencies,

     Our reply to the request for approval of the system is
being directed to the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller),
with more detailed recommendations to the Assistant Comptroller/
Director of Financial Management Services, Department of the Navy,
Also, we are furnishing a copy of this letter with recommended
improvements in procedures and practices that may be applicable to
other Naval Ordnance Activities to the Commanding Officer, Naval
Ordnance Systems Command.

     As we discussed with you at the conclusion of our review, we
noted some procedures and practices which we believe to need
strengthening or  improvement at the station level. These are
presented in the following paragraphs for your consideration and
follow-up action,

FINANCIAL COITROLS OVER INVENTORIES

     Our review disclosed that the station did not employ procedures
necessary to control and accurately account for direct material
and supplies inventories.  Some of the procedures were required by
the NIF Handbook or the Naval Supply Manual.
