Foreign Allowances and Differentials Paid to DOD Civilian Employees Supporting Overseas Contingency Operations

摘要

Our overall objective was to determine whether civilian pay for overseas contingency operations was disbursed in accordance with established laws and regulations. Specifically, we determined whether eligible DOD civilian employees were properly paid foreign allowances and differentials. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) paid an estimated $212.9 million in foreign allowances and differentials to 11,691 DOD civilian employees supporting overseas contingency operations during FYs 2007 and 2008. See Appendix A for a discussion of the scope and methodology related to the objective.
