Dear Sir:

     In evaluating the Navy's  financial management
system, we test financial  transactions in disbursing
officers' accounts.   In sampling the U.S.S. FULTON
accounts for the 6 months  ended June 30, 1972, we
found some crew members were  over or underpaid and
leave balances were  inaccurate because of errors in
vouchers and military pay  records.  The errors are
summarized in the appendix.

     Voucher errors were  predominant and indicate a
need for more proficiency  and supervisory attention
in preparing and paying  travel claims.  The most
common types of errors  involved:

     -- payments of mileage  and per diem when not
        entitled,

        incorrect deductions  for meals and quarters,

     -- wrong per diem  rates, and

     -- incorrect distances  and terminal points.

     We were unable  to pinpoint responsibility or de-
termine error causes  since our review was limited to
records at the Navy  Finance Center, Cleveland.  How-
ever, we believe  travel errors could be substantially
reduced if disbursing  personnel become more familiar
