Personnel at Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) and other DoD accounting offices supporting the Other Defense Organizations general fund, and preparers and users of the DoD Agency-Wide financial statements would benefit from the results of this audit. DFAS Indianapolis (DFAS-IN) provides accounting and financial reporting support for 42 Other Defense Organizations general funds. DFAS-IN receives trial balance information from field accounting sites, which is used to prepare financial statements and budget reports. These 42 Other Defense Organizations general funds were a reporting component of the FY 2007 DoD Agency-Wide Financial Statements and had $140.5 billion in budget authority for FY 2007. Results of the audit show that DFAS-IN's internal controls were not adequate. We identified a material internal control weakness in accounting adjustments made to Other Defense Organizations general fund accounting records. The accounting adjustments were not sufficiently supported and approved. Specifically, the controls did not ensure that accounting adjustments were properly supported, that journal entries recorded in the accounting system agreed with the control log, and that cost estimates used on journal vouchers were supported and properly classified and disclosed on the financial statements. These internal control weaknesses increased the risk that DoD materially misstated balances reported in the DoD Agency-Wide financial statements. In addition, the lack of footnote disclosures discussed in this report could mislead the users of the financial statements. The Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)/Chief Financial Officer should update the DoD Regulation 7000.14-R, "DoD Financial Management Regulation," to include requirements for financial statement footnote disclosures of the amounts of unresolved abnormal balances.

This audit was performed in response to the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, as amended by the Government Management Reform Act of 1994. DoD Directive 7650.3 requires that all recommendations be resolved promptly. Our audit objective was to determine whether the DFAS Indianapolis Center consistently and accurately compiled financial data from field activities and other sources for the financial statements of Army General Fund. We reviewed management controls and compliance with laws and regulations related to the objective. Audit Results. The DFAS Indianapolis Center compilation of financial data from field entities and other sources into the FY 1997 Army General Fund financial statements was not in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The use of status of appropriations data and expenditure data is an unacceptable interim method for compiling the Army General Fund financial statements. This interim compilation process has been in place for over six years. The Army General Fund financial statements, taken as a whole, will not be auditable until a transaction-driven, integrated accounting system based on general ledger accounting is implemented Army-wide.

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service Indianapolis Center maintains the Army departmental accounting records and compiles the Army General Fund financial statements. This audit was performed in response to the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, as amended by the Federal Financial Management Act of 1994. The Chief Financial Officers Act requires the Inspector General, DoD, to audit the financial statements of DoD organizations in accordance with generally accepted Government auditing standards. We delegated the audit of the FY 1999 Army General Fund financial statements to the Army Audit Agency, but we assisted them by performing some of the audit work at the Indianapolis Center. The Army Audit Agency disclaimed an opinion on the FY 1999 Army General Fund financial statements, and we concurred with the disclaimer of opinion. The FY 1999 Army Consolidated Balance Sheet reported total assets of $72.3 billion and total liabilities of $34.9 billion. The consolidated Statement of Net Cost reported net program costs of $69.8 billion for the period ending September 30, 1999. The combined Statement of Budgetary Resources reported total budgetary resources of $90.6 billion. Our objective was to determine whether the Defense Finance and Accounting Service Indianapolis Center consistently and accurately compiled financial data from field organizations and other sources for the FY 1999 Army General Fund financial statements. We also reviewed the management control program as it related to the objective.
