Review of Military Disbursing Officers' Accounts

Gao ID: 107117 October 18, 1977

The travel voucher segment of the February 1977 account of a finance officer was reviewed. Of the 87 temporary duty and 84 permanent change of station travel vouchers examined, 47 erroneous payments were found. The error rate of about 28 percent was over four times the Army-wide error rate of 6 percent. Most of the errors involved incorrect computations of per diem payments or payment of per diem when the member was due only a mileage allowance.
