Dear Sir:
In keeping with our role of overseeing pederal agency financial
management systene, our staff at the Navy Finance Center, Cleveland,
has reviewed your stations disbureing activities. We exmioed the
49 travel vouchers, 30 military pay records, and supporting data
submitted by your disbursing officer for the period July through
Dacember 1969. AL the finance centers of each of the services we
also determined if casual and emergency rest and rehabilitation pay-
mente were charged to payes' accounts.
the number, variety, and repetitive nature of the errors we
found--181 erroneous payments totaling $8,040 and two errors in
reporting leave--show serious wealmesses in your disbursing activities.
The errors are sumarized in the appendix. The most significant
defictetes were fatitag to assure that casual or emergency payments
were charged to payee aecounts and making foreign duty payments when
Sydney was not a designated area. These and same of the other problem
areas are discussed below.
--Ninety-nae (44,165) of the 381 casual or emergency payments
were not charged to the pay accounts of 81 Army, 15 Marine
Corps, and two Navy personnel. When the payrolls were
prepared your staff either failed to send pay adjustment
authorizations to the payees' duty stations or they neglected
to follow-up when completed pay adjustment authorizations
were not retarned by the stations.
*4roretg duty pay has been credited to personnel at Sydney
since January 1968 although Sydney has not been designated
a foreign duty pay area. During the 6-month period in our
review, the 22 antisted personnel at Sydney received $2,363
it foreign duty pay.
