Billings for Centrex Autovon Terminations in the Department of the Navy

Abstract

This is our final report on the Audit of Billings for CENTREX AUTOVON Terminations in the Department of the Navy. The audit was performed from January through December 1989. The objective of the audit was to determine whether the Bell Operating Companies have properly billed DoD telecommunications users for Central Office Exchange Service (CENTREX) Automatic Voice Network (AUTOVON) termination service and for special assembly charges in accordance with existing tariffs and agreements. We also evaluated the adequacy of internal controls. This report addresses only Navy users of CENTREX. Separate final reports on CENTREX users in the Air Force, the Army, the Defense Logistics Agency, and the Defense Telecommunications Service- Washington either have been issued or will be issued. We commend Navy management for attempting to correct many of the conditions noted in this report. The Navy continuously stressed the need for accurate inventories, proper certification of bills, and improvements for the management of telecommunications. However, for reasons cited in this report, those procedures were not implemented.
