D.C. 0548 SEP 151972 3 B-118638 3 Dear Mr. Chairman: LM096296 On March 28, 1972, Senator Daniel K. Inouye, then Chair- man of the Subcommittee, requested that we evaluate the District of Columbia's response to our letter of March 13 re- garding transactions which we believe violate the Anti- Deficiency Act. He requested that we review this data and advise him as to whether it was a valid answer to the conclu- sions reached in our letter. We have reviewed the District's response and reaffirm our opinion that the Anti-Defi cc r- thab-e tric of Columbia G9-PrAe. a , In the enclosure to this letter, we discuss this viola- tion and the general situation in the District regarding fund control. Although we do not believe that overobligations of ap- portionments can be absolved by plans for corrective action, we fully agree with the District that the basic solution to its problems must be a new and improved accounting system and compliance with appropriate regulations issued under the Anti- Deficiency Act. In February 1972 we approved a statement of accounting princies and standards submitted to us by the District. This statement provides a blueprint for the development of a satisfactory sy ig j,&oea__nrnol in the District. We have assigned three staff members to assist the District in devel- oping its new system. More recently, the District has issued instructions for budget execution and accounting system changes. These in- structions are designed to insure compliance with the Anti- Deficiency Act and have been reported to staff members of District congressional committees and to an official of the Office of Management and Budget.
