The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Installations) requested this audit because of an allegation by the Army. The 1995 Commission on Defense Base Closure and Realignment had criticized the Army for its failure to include, in its data submission supporting the recommendation to close Fort Ritchie, Maryland, a cost to relocate the Defense Information Systems Agency Western Hemisphere from Fort Ritchie to another location. The Army contended in its allegation that it was unaware of any decision by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to proceed with the stationing of additional Defense Information Systems Agency Western Hemisphere personnel at Fort Ritchie. The primary audit objective was to validate support for the expansion of the Defense Information Systems Agency Western Hemisphere at Fort Ritchie. A second objective was to evaluate the adequacy of the management control program as it applied to the primary audit objective.

Congress emphasized the importance of developing and maintaining controls to protect Federal information and information systems in its 2001 Defense Authorization Act. The Act requires DoD to develop a cost-effective security control program that continually assesses risk, is tested and evaluated periodically, and is approved by the Director, Office of Management and Budget. The General Accounting Office has also emphasized the importance of information system security controls, as well as financial management, by placing both of these issues on its 2001 list of Government-wide high-risk areas. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service is responsible for financial management in DoD and processes payments for about 5.4 million military, civilians, retirees, and annuitants; 14.4 million invoices; and 5.4 million travel payments. The Defense Information Systems Agency provides computer services to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service and processes finance and accounting data on 47 critical finance and accounting systems at 5 computer centers containing 60 large computers. The Inspector General, DoD, issued 28 audit reports from March 1994 through February 2001 that addressed the effectiveness of security controls over DoD financial data. The 28 reports identified weaknesses in controls over DoD finance and accounting systems.
