Commanding Officer
Fort George G. Meade, Maryland  20755

     Attention:  AHBMCR

Dear Sir:


Umo9295i


     We have made a review of the practices and procedures applicable
to the administration of certaift payroll matters for selected civilian
employees of Fort George G. Meade for the period September 21, 1969,
through September 19, 1970.  Our review, which was made using statis-
tical sampling techniques, included an examination into the following
specific areas:

     1.  Granting of within-grade increases to General Schedule
         employees and step increases to Wage Board employees.

     2.  Coordination of Wage Board practices under the Coordinated
         Federal Wage System.

     3.  Retroactive salary payments made under the Federal-
         Employees Salary Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-231).

     Our review also included an evaluation of the system of internal
controls, including internal audit, used by Fort George G. Meade to
assure that the pay actions discussed above were processed in accord-
ance with applicable laws and regulations and that verification pro-
cedures assure detection and correction of errors.  Our review did
not include an examination into the computation of biweekly salary
payments, leave, travel, or other costs.

     We found that generally the administration of those areas of civilian
pay which we examined was carried out in a satisfactory manner.  In addi-
tion, we believe the system of internal controls in effect during the
period of our review, except as noted below, assured that pay actions
covered by our review were processed in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations.


     We noted that no internal audits have been
pay for several years.  Internal audit provides
the work done and is an added safeguard against


made in the area of civilian
a check on the accuracy of
misappropriation of funds.
