We did note, however, that on 18 of the 171 travel vouchers in our sample, the sign out/in times and dates were not shown as a part of the travel itinerary, as required by paragraph 40111f(1) of Air Force Manual (AFM) 177-103 and paragraph 11-3n, Volume III of AFM 177-373. Seventeen of the vouchers did not show sign out and sign in times and dates on the itineraries, and one voucher did not show a sign in time and date. Nine of the seven- teen vouchers carried the notation member failed to sign out or in. In those instances where the sign out/in times and dates are missing from the itinerary, the cited regulation requires that the voucher be supported by an acceptable explanation. We also examined the travel vouchers of military members for accuracy of computation of delay en route chargeable as leave and for timeliness of input of leave information to the members' centralized leave accounts. This is in addition to the Interim Leave System exam- ination, the results of which were reported to you by our letter of May 1, 1973. Of the 171 travel vouchers in our sample, 48 vouchers showed delay en route. Our examination of these 48 vouchers (which involved 54 periods of leave) showed that the periods of leave on 50 of the cases were transmitted with the correct number of days. The attachment lists travel vouchers where leave was not charged or where leave was incorrectly computed. In the majority of the cases, the periods of leave were entered on the Daily Transaction Listing on a timely basis after payment was made for the travel.
