Coffmaniding Officer
Naval Ammunition Depot
Crane, Indiana

Dear Captain Donahue:

     We have exadned  selected transactions in the 1970 financial
returns of the depot to evaluate the quality of your disbursing
operations.  In our tests at the Navy Finance Center, Cleveland,
we reviewed 178 military pay records and 164 rllitary and civilian
travel vouchers.  Ue found a large number of errors-94  in the
342 records examined.

     Seventy-two errors totaling $1,195 resulted in over and under-
payments of pay and travel.  Twelve of these errors, totaling $125,
were previously identified by the waministrative exawiners at the
Great Lakes Navy Regional Finance Center.  The other 22 error; we
found involved leave sceounting (64 days) and tax reporting.  These
could eventually result in losses to the Govarnmt   or to the sear-
vicemen.  The appendix sumarises  our findings by error type, frequency,
and enount.

     At the depot we inquired into the caues  of the errors and
reviewed ott r aspects of your financial mnagement  system.  Our
observations and findings are presented below.




     Pay ad  travel errors were primarily  the result of:

     --failure to verify payroll postinge,

     --unfamiliarity with or misapplication of certain eotitleent
       regulations, and

     --lock of prepayment review.
