     Attention    Comptroller

 Dear Sir

      Enclosed is the report on our review of the Korean National Payroll
 System.  Our objectives were to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness
 of internal controls, internal audits, and leave administration.  Our
 review was in accordance with the Comptroller General's letter of
 September 1, 1972 to the Secretary of Defense in which he advised the
 Secretary that the General Accounting Office would discontinue centralized
 audits of civilian payroll systems overseas and begin making onsite
 reviews,

      On the pages indicated below in the enclosed report, we are
 recommending improvements in the areas of payroll processing, computer
 operations, payroll d2stributions, and leave accounting, as follows.

      --controls should be established over the flow of entitlement
        documents (pp. 3 and 4).

      --predetermined control totals should be added in regular payroll
        computations and established in bonus computations (pp. 5 and 6).

      --programmed controls should be used by the computer to reduce
        manual work and strengthen internal control over payroll and
        bonus processing (pp. 6 and 7).

      -a  library function should be established at the Yongsan Data
        Processing Center to control access to payroll files, computer
        programs, and program documentation (pp. 7 and 8).

      --standards and procedures should be established to requite clear,
        complete, and up-to-date computer program documentation  (p. 9).

      -a  contingency plan should be developed so that data processing
        operations can be continued if fileb, computers, or computer
        programs are damaged or destroyed (p. 10).
