Financial Management at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency

Abstract

The audit objectives were to assess internal controls and compliance with laws and regulations and to test accounting transactions to determine the effectiveness of accounting controls. We limited our review of the management control program to the accounting processes for the Military Equipment, Transportation of Things, and Printing and Reproduction accounts in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency uniform chart of accounts. We did not include a review of management controls associated with the adjusted trial balance development process at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service Indianapolis Center. That review will be discussed in the audit report on "Consolidated FY 1995 Financial Report on Defense Organizations Receiving Department 97 Appropriations," Project No. 6RA-2O14.
