handle is hein.gao/gaobadrbn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Operation and Maintenance, Navy October 1, 2013 September 2007 $6.9 million 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341(a)(1) (A) and 1517 Navy reported that it improp- erly obligated Operations and Maintenance (O&M,N) appropriations, instead of Military Construction (MILCON) appropriations for a task order for four construc- tion projects. Navy reported that the cost of one project could not be funded with MILCON unless specifically authorized by Congress. And since it was not so authorized, no funds were available for the project resulting in a violation of the Antideficiency Act (ADA). Navy reported that the other three projects could be funded with MILCON without specific authorization, but when Navy attempted an adjustment to charge the proper account, insufficient amounts remained available in the allocation for such purpose resulting in a violation of the ADA. GAO- ADA-14- 01 Source: Unaudited information GAO extracted from agency Antideficiency Act reports; for further information about a specific report, please contact the relevant agency. United States Government Accountability Office Navy 11-08 Department of the Navy Navy reported that two individuals were responsible for the violation. Navy reported taking no disciplinary action against one of the individuals who had retired and that the other individual was orally admonished and issued a Letter of Caution. Navy also determined that there was no willful or knowing intent on the part of the responsible individuals. Navy reported making several funding corrections deobligating O&M,N funds and obligating MILCON appropriations. Navy reported issuing a new instruction formalizing the process for acceptance of funding documents for projects exceeding $500,000 and defined the project development and review requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the ADA. Navy also developed a computer based ADA training course related to Naval Facilities Engineering execution. Antideficiency Act Report Information, FY 2014 Page 1 of 12
