SS 1500-1521. For the purpose of future audits, the agency should be prepared to demonstrate that a significant number of inappropriate or false claims have not been revealed; that it will period- ically review the $35 limit; that it will assure that only proper claims have been submitted; and that it has in force adequate controls against processing multiple claims of $35 each without appropriate documentation and review. DECISION The Director, Office of Budget and Finance, Veterans Administration (VA), has requested our decision on whether the VA may amend its voucher payment system to permit the waiver of required review and documentation for unsupported invoices for up to $35 in miscellaneous supplies provided to veterans participating in training and rehabilitation programs authorized under 38 U.S.C. SS 1500-1521 (1982) (the training provisions). Support for the proposal can be found in analogous federal regulations and GAO decisions, and VA has stated that veterans receiving training under the training provisions can reasonably be expected to require $35 in miscellaneous supplies each term. For the purpose of future audits, however, we expect the agency to have in force adequate controls to protect against inappropriate or false claims by vendors.
