Military Pay

In light of the GAO Nov. 2003 report highlighting significant pay problems experienced by Army Nat. Guard soldiers mobilized to active duty in support of the global war on terrorism & homeland security, GAO was asked to determine if controls used to pay mobilized Army Reserve soldiers provided assurance that such payments are accurate & timely. This audit used a case study approach to focus on controls over three key areas: processes, people (human capital), & automated systems. Includes test'y. before the House Comm. on Gov't.
