       The Honor ole John E. Robson
       Chairvn P, Civil Airona-.ics Board

       Dear Mr. Robson:

             We revicad the accounting system of the Civil ,Iernautic-s Goard
        (Cf) to determine whether it was oiFrating in accordance with -he
        system design approved by the Comrnr&oller General on Jaumury 10', 1968.

             Our review showed that:

             I.  I view of significant r,.-sIc:s which had oeen rrtade to
                 the subsidy', payroll , anqd prcP--r-ty    ,    ,crunin  sbyt-,
                 they snould b2 suLritted to     C.,trclla, Gcnel For
                 epproval.
             i.. improved controls were needed to insure the correctness
                 of personnel and payroll data entereJ into the computer
                 system°.

             3. Physica'! inventories of accountable property had not-
                 been taken since 1969 although the approved accounting
                 syster design reqtiired annual inventories.

             4. Controls over cash receipts needed imra.pvement.

             5. The internal audit functicn needed strengtihering by (1)
                 requiri ,g that the Oiternal audit staff repr t to the
                 Chairmn, CAB, rather trian the Comptroller  id (2) re-
                 quiring the internal audit staff to establish a plan
                 for systematic audit of its accounting system and re-
                 lated financial mnage~nent activities.

             These matters were discusied wIth the Comptroller and merners of
        his staff at thE- conclusion of our review. By letter dated February
        20, 1975, the Cprolr ....          us of the action planned to correct
        the weakliesses noted.
