WASHINGTON BOULEVARD BUILDING 234 STATE STREET DETRoIT, MICHIGAN 48226 12 JUN V;75 Commanding Officer p Navy Regional Finance Center Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Dear Sir: As part of our continuing review of the Navy's financial management system, we examined selected transactions from the Pearl Harbor Navy Regional Finance Center's accounts for October 1974. We found errors on 58 of 402 travel vouchers examined -- an error rate of 14 percent. We concluded a definite need exists for more proficiency in preparing and paying civilian travel claims -- 54 percent of the payments to civilians and 8 percent of the payments to military personnel were in error. The most common types of errors are discussed below: --Numerous underpayments of per diem were made to civilian employees because payment was computed from the time they left the airport. This is contrary to paragraph C 10104, JTR, that provides for computing per diem allowances from the time the traveler leaves his place of abode, office, or other point of departure. For examples, see vouchers Q3602, Q4072 and attached informal inquiries. --A few civilian employees were erroneously paid per diem while they were in a leave status contrary to paragraph C10101-8, JTR. See voucher Q2700. --Several military members were underpaid per diem because deductions were made on the basis of Government messing facilities being available although endorsements to the orders stated that use of such facilities were not practical. For examples, see vouchers Q3497 and A1742 and attached informal inquiries.
