Improving Civilian Payroll Operations of the Military District of Washington

Abstract

In fiscal year 1975, the U.S. Army Military District of Washington automated payroll system processed pay and allowances of about $383 million for 24,000 employees. Because of weaknesses in internal controls, the District's computerized payroll system could not be relied upon to insure an accurate payroll or to protect the Government from improper payments. The Army has taken or plans to take actions to assure that the Districts civilian payroll system includes minimum standards of internal controls.
