Dear Mr. Chapman:

     We have made a review for the settlement of accounts of
accountable officers of the Georgia State Office, Soil Conser-
vation Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture.  Our review,
completed in August 1970, was made pursuant to the Budget and
Accounting Act, 1921 (31 U.S.C. 53), and the Accounting and
Auditing Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67).

     Our review included an examination of administrative
procedures and controls relating to the disbursement of funds
and such tests of individual financial transactions as we con-
sidered appropriate,  We did not examine program-type activities,
nor did we conduct a payroll audit.

     We found that with the exception of some weaknesses in
timekeeping functions; travel administration and verification
of travel claims; establishment of an accounts receivable; and
the procedures for determining administrative costs for billing
purposes, the procedures and controls were generally satisfactory.
We discussed these weaknesses with representatives of your office
and corrective action has been taken or.promised.

     We wish to acknowledge the courtesies and cooperation given
our representatives during the review.

     Copies of this report are being furnished to the Administra-
tor, Soil Conservation Service, and to the Inspector General,
Department of Agriculture.


Very truly yours,



Regional Ma .ager
