Financial Management: Abnormal Inventory Balances for the Navy Working Capital Fund
Abstract
Public Law 101-576, the "Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990," November 15, 1990, as amended by Public Law 103-356, the "Federal Financial Management Act of 1994" October 13, 1994, requires DoD and other Government agencies to prepare annual audited financial statements. This report addresses the abnormal (negative) balances inventory balances reported in the Material Financial Control System by the Naval Inventory Control Point. Inventory is the most significant asset of the Navy Working Capital Fund. As of September 30, 2001, the Navy Supply Management reported Inventory Held for Sale, Net as $15.9 billion. The audit objective was to determine whether the Naval Inventory Control Point (Philadelphia and Mechanicsburg) reconciled general ledger accounts for Inventory On-Hand and Inventory Work-In-Process with the storage activities' logistic records; and whether research was performed to correct differences and abnormal balances. We also evaluated the adequacy of the Naval Inventory Control Point management control program as it related to the audit objective.
