Compilation of the FY 1999 Army General Fund Financial Statements at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service Indianapolis Center
Abstract
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service Indianapolis Center maintains the Army departmental accounting records and compiles the Army General Fund financial statements. This audit was performed in response to the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, as amended by the Federal Financial Management Act of 1994. The Chief Financial Officers Act requires the Inspector General, DoD, to audit the financial statements of DoD organizations in accordance with generally accepted Government auditing standards. We delegated the audit of the FY 1999 Army General Fund financial statements to the Army Audit Agency, but we assisted them by performing some of the audit work at the Indianapolis Center. The Army Audit Agency disclaimed an opinion on the FY 1999 Army General Fund financial statements, and we concurred with the disclaimer of opinion. The FY 1999 Army Consolidated Balance Sheet reported total assets of $72.3 billion and total liabilities of $34.9 billion. The consolidated Statement of Net Cost reported net program costs of $69.8 billion for the period ending September 30, 1999. The combined Statement of Budgetary Resources reported total budgetary resources of $90.6 billion. Our objective was to determine whether the Defense Finance and Accounting Service Indianapolis Center consistently and accurately compiled financial data from field organizations and other sources for the FY 1999 Army General Fund financial statements. We also reviewed the management control program as it related to the objective.
