Approval of the Design of the Air Force Real Property Maintenance Industrial Fund Accounting System
Gao ID: AFMD-81-83 June 30, 1981The design of the Air Force Real Property Maintenance Industrial Fund Accounting System was reviewed. In evaluating the system design, the automatic data processing aspects were analyzed to determine their adequacy as to internal controls, audit trails, data integrity, and consistency with the accounting specifications.
The system design was approved as conforming in all material respects with the approved accounting principles and standards of the Department of the Air Force. However, GAO stated that, to maintain the approved status of the system design, planned changes should be discussed with GAO representatives. It was also suggested that the Air Force's internal auditors periodically review the system to assure that it is operating as described in the approved system design.
