The Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, as amended by the Government Management Reform Act of 1994, requires financial statement audits by the Inspectors General and prescribes the responsibilities of management and auditors for financial statements, internal controls, and compliance with laws and regulations. The Director, Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), who is the fund manager of the DFAS Working Capital Fund, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls and for complying with applicable laws and regulations. Our responsibility is to render an opinion on the financial statements and to determine whether internal controls were adequate and whether management complied with applicable laws and regulations. Before FY 1992, DoD operated a significant number of commercial and industrial facilities under a revolving find concept. In FY 1992, the revolving finds were consolidated to form the Defense Business Operations Fund. In December 1996, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) restructured the Defense Business Operations Fund into separate working capital finds. The DFAS Working Capital Fund provides funding for centralized finance and accounting services and systems support for all DoD Components. In FY 1998, the DFAS Working Capital Fund reported assets of $662.9 million, liabilities of $518.6 million, and revenue of $1.7 billion. The overall objective of our audit was to determine whether the DFAS Working Capital Fund Financial Statements for FY 1998 were presented fairly and in accordance with Office and Management and Budget Bulletin No. 97-01, CCForm and Content of Agency Financial Statements," October 16, 1996, as amended on November 20, 1998. We determined whether internal controls were adequate to ensure that the DFAS Working Capital Fund financial statements were free of material error.
