Report on the Audit of Internal Controls Over DoD Major Suggestion Awards

Abstract

This final report on the Audit of Major Suggestion Awards is provided for your information and use. The audit was requested by the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management and Personnel) because the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has proposed a revision to the award scale for suggestions. If adopted, the revision could substantially increase the number of cases with awards over $10,000. The audit was made from September through October 1991. The overall objective of the audit was to determine whether existing internal controls ensured the integrity of major suggestion awards (cash awards in excess of $10,000). Specifically, we determined whether: 1) controls were in place to protect against collusion; 2) DoD Components had justified awards; 3) awards were properly calculated; and 4) suggestions resulting in awards were adoptable and ultimately adopted.
