Dear Sir:

     A* part of our continuig  review of the Navy's
financial rvanaeent  system, we examined selectd
transactions In your disbursing officer's accounts
for the 6 meaths onded June 30, 1973.   f the 23
miliary  pay rreords and votchers ro examined, S2
had  oe or more errore--am error rate of 22 percent.
These errors, suaarized  in the appendix, c2ased
overpayments, underpsyments antd incorrect leave
balaices.

     Voocher arrors were predominant and indicate a
noed for  ore proficetncy and supervisory attention
Ln preparing and payig, travel des. The mtost con-
so  rypes of errors were
      i  improper doductions for oeans--prtarily o
         the day of departure from a toeporary duty
         station,

      -  incorrect computation of the nutmber of days
         an route between stations for wh1ch per &kvn
         was payale,  and
      -  uauthorized  payme-nt of per dies for travel
         ader  orders directing group travel.

     We were unable to pinpoit  responsibility or
deternina specific causes o  the errors since our re-
view was limited to rcoris  at the Navy  inance Center,
