Examination of Travel and Leave Transactions in the Accounts of the U.S.S. San Jose

Gao ID: 100684 March 25, 1977

GAO reviewed selected travel and leave vouchers in the accounts of the U.S.S. San Jose to test the quality of disbursing and related administrative procedures. Entitlements on 60 of 119 vouchers paid from February to July 1976 were examined.

Five travel vouchers had over/underpayments totaling $84. Fourteen of 36 leave vouchers had over/undercharges or erroneous delay enroute computations. Fifteen informal inquiries were forwarded to the disbursing officer describing deficiencies and requesting corrections. Pay adjustment authorizations were requested from the Navy Finance Center for the three travel errors in the $10 to $25 range. Contrary to regulations, the disbursing officer was not reviewing the accuracy of leave, proceed, and traveltime reported by the administrative office.
