Inadequate Methods Used to Account for and Recover Personnel Costs of the Foreign Military Sales Program

Abstract

Reliable estimates of personnel requirements for foreign military sales activities are needed to: give the Congress a basis to authorize personnel ceilings, develop a budget for the resources required to administer the program, establish a basis for keeping administrative surcharges up to date to be sure that all administrative costs are recovered, and provide a basis for reimbursing the appropriation that originally financed the administrative costs from the receipts generated by the program. The Defense Department has begun corrective actions which should improve its management of the program.
