DOD continues to have inconsistencies related to in-transit disbursements, unmatched disbursements, negative Unliquidated obligations, unreconciled differences in suspense accounts, and unreconciled differences between U.S. Treasury records and DOD accounting records." [DOD IG Report 2010-002, p. 5]
Example#1: The Component did not reconcile the "Statement of Differences-Deposits," within 2 months as a loss or overage of funds. As a result, there was a risk that actual losses of funds would not be identified in a timely manner and agency managers could overspend or overobligate because they did not have current and accurate information on amounts in their Fund Balance with Treasury accounts. Also, unreconciled differences could impact Fund Balance with Treasury amounts reported in the financial statements.
Example#2: The Component continues to experience difficulties reconciling all transactions posted to the Fund Balance with Treasury general ledger account. These difficulties persist largely because of deficiencies throughout the accounting, reporting, and reconciling processes. Specifically, the Component had not established adequate procedures to identify and record in-transit disbursement and collection transactions, and could not provide complete information, including disbursement voucher numbers, for transactions included on the Cash Management Report and Detail Pile Report. |
