     We have ezamined selected financial transactions in the accounts
of the U.S.S. CASCADE for the 6 months ended June 30, 1971. This work,
a part of our continuing review of the Naryes financial management
system, was done by our staff at the Navy Finance Center, Cleveland.

     We examined 308 of 853 military pay records, 224 of 450 military
travel vouchers, and 30 of 61 miscellaneous pay and allowance vouchers.
We found 192 monetary errors, six leave accouncing errors, and one
error in reporting taxable income.  Eight percent of the pay records,
44 percent of the travel voachers and 33 percent of the miscellaneous
vouchers contained one or more errors. These tests indicate that the
auezained  records in the accounts contain an additional 221 errors
(207 monetary, 12 leave accounting and two tax reporting). Our find-
ings are summarized In the appendix.

     Disbursing personnel apparently had considerable difficulty
determining per dies entitlements. We  found 147 travel voucher errors-
over 100 involved per diem. These  include the following:

     -Fifty-nine  errors were the result of (1) improper deductions
       for meals on cannon carriers, (2) failures to deduct for
       weals available on silitary aircraft, and (3) failures to
       deduct for meals amd quarters on the day of return to the
       duty station.  See paragraphs H1150-4, Y4205-5, footnote
       w and M4254, JTI. For  examples, see vouchers 3897, 4072,
       3631 ami 3846.

     -Incorrect  per diem rates were used in 14 instances. In most
       of these ceses a local foreign rate was used instead of the
       $8 rate, or v4ce versa, contrary to paragraph K7253, JTR.
       See vouchers 4135 and 4144 for exaples.
