'DC. ~C5/ DEFENSE DIVISION APR 12 190w B-125037 LM095591 Dear Mr. Secretary: The General Accounting Office, for many years, has made ud1its of Air Forcte disbursing officers' accounts at the Air Force Account- ing hd Finance Center. In 1967--in addition to the existing prac- tice of issuing notices of exception and certificates of settlement related to the disbursing officers' accountab-!ty--we began to issue letter reports to each base commander, with a copy to the Comptroller of the Air Force, advising of the results of the audit. The reports identify and describe erroneous payments, show error rates by types of documents, and give the error rate of the median Air Force station so that a commarder may judge how his station stands relative to others as to the accur acy of payments. This is a summary report of recent findings, the types of pay- ments where signz -fnt . %±'6bOuL, the probablecauses of error, and the efforts made at base level to preclude their recurrence. Excluded from this summary are the accounts of disbursing stations involved solely in procurement functions--such as Defense Contract Administration Services Regions or Air Force Kant Reresentative Offices--civilian payrolls, payments under cost-reimbursable con- tracts, and payments for bills of lading or transportation requests. QUALITY OF DISBURSEE-711S We schedule the accounts for audit to correspond with the 9-month period covered by military pay records. Since the pay rec- ords are not made ava4-.!able to us for at least 3 months after they are closed, some payments are 1 year old when our audit begins. Our latest audits covered about two-thirds of all Air Force stations for the disbursing period of April through December 1968 and the remaining stations for a period January through September 1969. 5 T A I R. 1.9 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971
