Gao ID: AFMD-83-21 November 23, 1982

GAO surveyed internal controls over income and expenses at 11 of the Forest Service's fiscal offices and at its headquarters in Washington, D.C.

The report identified some weaknesses at the Forest Service's fiscal offices and at the headquarters in internal controls over collections, receivables, disbursements, and imprest funds and a lack of internal audit coverage of accounting and financial activities.
