Summary: Selected travel vouchers in the accounts of the USS San Diego were examined to test the quality of disbursing and the reliability of the leave accounting system. A statistical sample of 59 vouchers paid in the 6 month period ending June 30, 1976, was reviewed.
Twenty-two travel error overpayments and underpayments totaling $505 were found on 15 vouchers. Predominant errors included: incorrect deductions for meals and quarters, failure to pay per diem for periods of travel or delay en route, and payments of mileage for incorrect distances to improper points. On 19 of these vouchers, 17 were identified that received 43 days of leave not charged to their leave accounts and 2 were found who were overcharged 2 days. The findings indicated that administrative and disbursing personnel either were not familiar with current travel and leave regulations or did not exercise due care in preparing and processing travel claims and related leave transactions. The disbursing officer was not performing the required supervisory reviews or verifying the accuracy of the leave, proceed, and traveltime reported by the administrative office.
