   Dear Sir8
        As part of our    ticnag  review of the Navy's
   financial  Magment   system, we have exaned,   at the
   Navy Flance  Center, Cleveland, selected financial tran-
   sactions in the accounts of the U.S.S. PARSONS for the

   record although the payroll contained signatures evidene

   are the type which are nornally attributed to disbursing
   offices and whICh can be kept at a miniMUM by adequate su-
   pervisory review.   Vowever, we could not pinpoint respon-
   stbility or determine the specific cases  since our review
   was limited to examining the veuchers, pay recordso and
   supporting documents at the finance center.  Our findings
   are sumarised  in the appendix,
        We are bringing these matters to your attention so
   that you Might investigate further the causes of the
   errors and take action to precludse future errors. To
   assist you in determining the causes, ws are enclosing
   information copies of our informal inquiries.  We would
