                                                                     SEP   1VMS

         Dear Mr. Koseek:                 BEST   DOCUM1ENT   AVAILABLE

              The General Accounting Office has reviewed selected aspects of the
         alght dred  system of the Commodity  redit  o          (C)0.   copies
         of the report 4o the  xecutive vice president, CCC, were furnished you
         on July 16, 1970.  As part of the reviews we summined into related
         internal audit work performed by your Region 6 office.

             Genera'1ys  Region b reviews were adequate; however, we noted two
         areas where we believe the establishment of approved audit guides for
         use by all regions could result in Improving audits of the operations
         of Otate and county offices.  Region 6 representatives advised us that
         Lhey did not have audit guides approved by the Office of the inspector
         General (01G) Headquarters Office fu  use in auditing administrative
         operations in State and county offices.  They stated that the audit
         guide* used within their region may be different from the guides used
         by other 01G regions in periorming similar reviews.

         VRK4iIFATON OF 0RPORT
         Or LANK DRALTS Oh WA~)

             01G has not established an approved audit guide- specifically
        requiring an inopendent  inventory of  blank sight drafts on hand in
        State adU county oifices.  Anl Regionr (, thie extent of vearification of
        blank saght crafts on hand varied or was not determinable.

             The  .gion had an unapproved audil guide  for application in State
        offices that requiceu a physical inventory of blank drafts on hand and
        reconciliation to pertinent records.   .e were advised, however, that
        this guide had only been applied in one State office--.iouth Dakota.
        The Region 6 workpapers on administrative reviews in the three state
        offices we visited included varying amounts of evidence regarding  the
        verification of State office Inventory reports of drafts on hand.  in
        one State a comparison was made of actual Items on hand to accounta-
        bility records, while in another . tate the workpapers contained little
        evidence of verification.

             The Region's unapproved audit guides for application I. county
        offices included general audit survey steps requiring consideration of
        controls over drafts such as safoguarding and periodic inventories.
        The guides, however, included no specific requirement to verity reports
        of blank drafts on hand through independent inventory procedures.
