The purpose of annual accounting system reviews is to determine whether DoD accounting systems are in compliance with accounting principles, standards, and related accounting requirements established by the General Accounting Office, the Office of Management and Budget, the Department of the Treasury, and DoD. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service, which is responsible for the conduct of annual accounting system reviews, requires system users to participate in the reviews because users must establish adequate accounting system controls to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of their financial statements and other financial reports. In FY 1994, the Washington Headquarters Services Allotment Accounting System (the System) processed financial transactions for 20 DoD users with assets of about $21.5 billion.

Recent audits of the fiscal year 1998 financial statements for DOD and the individual military services, performed by the DOD Inspector General (IG) and the service audit agencies, and our report on the U.S. government's financial statements have highlighted many critical DOD financial management problems. These problems not only hamper the department's ability to produce timely and accurate financial management information, but also significantly impair efforts to improve the economy and efficiency of its operations. Key areas of concern relate to ineffective asset control and accountability, which affects DOD's visibility over weapons systems and inventory, and unreliable cost and budget information, which affects DOD's ability to effectively measure performance, reduce costs, and maintain adequate funds control.
