Volz Commander, Department of the Army U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Building 602 City/County Airport Walla Walla, WA 99362 Dear Colonel Volz: We are conducting a comprehensive review of the U.S. Army's financial systems and operations. Our primary objectives are to assess the Army's systems of internal control and to express an opinion on its financial statements for fiscal year 1991. As part of that review, we reviewed internal controls at the Walla Walla District. During our review, we observed an internal control weakness in the area of safeguarding computer equipment. We are bringing this matter to your attention so you can assure that corrective action is taken. As appropriate, we will bring other matters to your attention at the conclusion of the review. STORAGE AREA FOR COMPUTER EOUIPMENT NOT SAFEGUARDED The district's Information Management Office (IMO) used an unsecured hallway as the receiving area for computer equipment. Corps regulations (ER 700-1-1, Chapter 3) require that all property held in a receiving area be secured to prevent loss or damage. However, the hallway which was used for receiving the computer equipment had an unsecured door which remained unlocked during the day and led directly to a parking lot. While the district's Logistics Management Office has a secured receiving area, we observed that it is not large enough to store IMO's computer equipment, nor is it located near the IMO. The IMO stores the computer equipment in the hallway, which is adjacent to its work area, pending assembly and completion of diagnostic checks. Once all the components are assembled and tested, IMO distributes the equipment. During our review, we observed boxes stacked along the wall containing computer monitors, disk drives, computer systems, software, GAO/AFMD-92-60ML
