TrS GENERAL AccoNTuveG OF[ iCE REGIONAL OFFICE y e ' RQM 1&00 FEDERAL OFFICC BUILDING 911 WALNUT STREET KANSAS CITY, MissouRI 64106 February 2, 1973 Major General Hugh R. Higgins Coimander, U.S. Army Mobility Equipment Command 4300 Goodfellow Boulevard St. Louis, Missouri 63120 Dear General Higgins: We have made a survey at the U.S. Army Mobility Equipment Command (MECOM) to determine how the Military Standard Contract Administration Procedure (MIIBCAP) will interface vith the Defense Contract Admin- istration Service's (DCAS) Mechanization of Contract Administration Services (MOCAS II) system. The survey was conducted at Army, Navy, Air Force and DCAS installations. The ove.rall objective in the survey was to gather sufficient information about the systems from each of the services to determine whether the dpsign of the DCAS' MOCAS II system meets the principles and standards prescribed by the Comptroller General for accounting systems. Also, we obtained information about MILSCAP to provide the basis for the General Accounting Office staff in Washington to evaluate the Department of Defense's statement of principles and standards for the MILS0AP system. Our survey of the MILSCAP system at MECOM has shown that the syntlc has been implemented on an interim basis pending the installation of the ALPHA program in late 1973. We found the MILSCAP procedures have been irplemented generally in acco:dance with the procedures set out in the DOD MILSGAP Manual 4105.63M. However, the MILSCAP Project Office nas not established written instructions and procedures at the local level to describe the system and identify operational responsibilities. As previously discussed the MILtCAP system has been implemented on an interim basis and as such has not been interfaced with the existing system because of the delay for the implementation of the ALPHA pro- gram. We have been advised that the MILSCAP and the ALPHA syste1as were anticipated to be implemented at about the same time, and that the ALPHA system would incorporate the requirements of the MILSCAP. Be- cause of the slippage for installing tne ALPHA program it was decided to implement MILSCAP as a separate interim system rather than mergo it with the existing system. We were told that when the ALPHA program is installed, it will include the MILSCAP under a single management system. BEST DOCUMENT AVAILABLE 2+-2 0S93F17
