Dear Mr. Thompson:                                LMOB9894

     By letter dated January 14, 1971, you requested that we
ascertain whether a loss of equipment had occurred at the
Atlanta, Georgia, office of the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC).

     We examined into the procurement procedures and prac-
tices for, and controls over, office equipment and furniture;
reviewed pertinent records; held discussions with appropriate
officials; and conducted a physical inventory of all office
equipment and of a selected sample of office furniture.

     The results of our examination are discussed below.

PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES

     EEOC instructions provide that regional offices submit
for approval requisitions for supplies, materials, equipment,
or services to the Chief, Management and Admnistrative Ser-
vicej Division, EEOC, Washington, D.C. All procurements are
made by the Washington headquarters office; authority to ob-
ligate or expend funds for such procurements has not been del-
egated to regional offices.

     Procurements made by Washington headquarters for the re-
gional offices are delivered directly to the regional offices.
The regional offices furnish receiving reports to Washington
headquarters, and suppliers submit their invoices to Washing-
ton headquarters for payment. Washington headquarters also
maintains records of all accountable property procured for,
and charged to, the regional offices.

PROPERTY RECORDS AND CONTROLS

     EEOC has not issued written instructions prescribing ac-
countability for, and control over, office equipment and fur-
niture. Washington headquarters officials told us, however,
that such instructions were being drafted.
