Dear Mr. Vavoulist

     We have made a review for the settleat   of accounts of the
certifying officers of ReglaeY,  Departnt   of   uNni  and Urbas
Development, for the ported of July 1, 1968, throu   June 30, 1971.
The review, completed In August 1971, was ade  pursuant to the
Budget &ad Accounting Act, 1921 (31 U.S.C. 53) and the Acontinag
and Auditing Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67).

     Our review was directed pri  rily toward the settlement of
the certifying officers' accouats   ad Included an exaanation
of administrative procedures an   entrnls relatins to the collee-
tion and disbuwement  of funds, and such tests of Individual
finacial  trasactions  as we considered appropriate.  Pogram
operations were not Included in our review.

     Ws revliwed the internal auditors' work sad we deemd  this
work to be of quality and coverage to easle  as to limit our tests
of the accounting records#  MV foad  the financial management
system, including Internal controls, to be generally satisfactory,
sad the finanal   trasactias   tested by as were processed in a
satisfactory smaner.  However, we noted a seed for improvement in
certain procedures and centrols as the deficiescies smmsarised in
this report show.  The deficienacies were disensed with atbers  of
your staff ad  corrective action was either initiated or was being
considered.  A summary of the deficiencies follows:

     -About  $230,000 of $4.1 million of cash received by the BUD
       regional office during our test period, the 3 months ended
       Septester 30, 1970, was not recorded in the ail  room
       control register.  These receipts had not been recorded
       because cash received (1) by ailtich Is  net   opened in
       the nsil room, and (2) by messenger from the city of
       Chicago, I. delivered directly to the accounting section.
