DoD Officials Need to Improve Reporting of Obligations and Expenditures for the Guam Realignment
Abstract
Our objective was to determine whether DoD could accurately identify and report obligations and expenditures for the Guam realignment. We also determined whether DoD properly maintained supporting documentation. We reviewed the Department of the Navy (DON) 2009 obligations of approximately $60.3 million and expenditures of approximately $35.6 million reported in the "Interagency Coordination Group of Inspectors General for Guam Realignment Annual Report," February 1, 2010 (Annual Report).DoD officials did not accurately identify and report 2009 obligations and expenditures for the Guam realignment in the Annual Report. Specifically, DON personnel did not accurately identify 36 obligations, resulting in an understatement of obligations of approximately $7.3 million, and did not adequately support 9 obligations, resulting in an overstatement of obligations of approximately $1.9 million. Additionally, DON and Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) personnel did not accurately identify 2 expenditures, resulting in an understatement of expenditures of $228,043, and did not adequately support 28 expenditures, resulting in an overstatement of expenditures of approximately $13.3 million.
