Controls Over the Computerized Accounts Payble System at Defense Finance and Accounting Service Kansas City

摘要

Serious internal control weaknesses have been reported over the years in DoD payment processes and systems. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Kansas City used the Computerized Accounts Payable System for Windows (CAPSW) to make vendor payments to Marine Corps customers. During FY 2000, 75, 861 vendor payments, valued at $1.2 billion, were made for Marine Corps customers using CAPS(W). On April 1, 2001, the Director, DFAS, capitalized all commercial payment resources under the Director, Commercial Pay Services. This is the first in a series of audit reports addressing the controls over the Computerized Accounts Payable System.
