Summary:

A statistical sample of travel vouchers in the accounts of the U.S.S. Bausell were examined to test the quality of disbursing and the reliability of the leave accounting system.

Errors were found on about 79 percent of the travel and leave vouchers reviewed. This indicates that administrative and disbursing personnel aboard the ship were unfamiliar with the current leave and travel regulations, or were careless in preparing and processing travel claims and related leave accounting transactions. Moreover, the disbursing officer was not performing required supervisory reviews and verifying the accuracy of the leave, proceed, and travel time shown on the travel claim. Inquiries are forwarded separately regarding recovery of these claims.
