Assist Audit of the Management of Assets Returned From Southwest Asia
Abstract
The audit was done in response to a request from the Army Audit Agency. The primary objectives of this assist audit were to determine if Army inventory managers had visibility over Army assets that were returned from Southwest Asia and to determine if inventory managers took adequate actions to adjust procurement quantities based on canceled requisitions and assets returned from Southwest Asia. In October 1991, because of the vast amount of materiel being returned from Southwest Asia, the Under Secretary of the Army requested the Army Audit Agency to review procedures and controls for Army assets being returned from Southwest Asia and to assist in reestablishing accountability. A significant portion of the cargo containers (SEAVANS) returned from Southwest Asia was returned to Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) managed supply depots; and over 180,000 Operation Desert Storm requisitions, submitted to Army and DLA inventory managers had to be canceled. Because IG, DoD, had audit jurisdiction over DLA activities, the Army Audit Agency requested the IG, DoD, to assist in the audit effort.
