We also examined into the effectiveness of time and attendance reporting proce- dures and controls at the installation during the period of our review. Our review of salary rates, which was made using statistical sampling techniques, included an examination and verification of rates of pay and personnel actions for the 26 pay periods covered by our review and a limited amount of additional testing in other periods for specific types of transactions. Our review did not include an examination into the com- putation of biweekly salary payments, leave, travel, or other costs. We found that the salary rates established for the selected employees were proper. Therefore, we are pleased to advise you that, in our opinion, your office is adequately administering the laws and regulations pertaining to the establishment of salary rates. Our review of the time and attendance procedures and controls, which was made on a sample basis, disclosed that certain of these procedures and controls need to be strengthened to provide additional assurance that employees' pay and leave records are accurate. Both General Accounting Office and Department of the Army regulations require that time and atten- dance reports be maintained on a daily basis and that they be certified as to their correctness at the end of the biweekly pay period. Our review dis- closed, however, that eight of the 10 timekeepers in our sample were not posting the records on a daily basis. In some instances they posted the regularly scheduled hours in advance, while in other instances they posted the records at the end of the biweekly pay period. These procedures do not assure that employees are properly charged for leave used.
