Abstract:

The overall audit objective was to determine the effectiveness of Defense Finance and Accounting Service DFAS initiatives to address the Year 2000 computer problem, beginning with the assessment phase. Specifically, we determined whether the DFAS Cleveland Center performed adequate system assessments, and we evaluated the existence and adequacy of interface agreements. Subsequent reports will address the other DFAS centers. We did not review the management control program as it relates to the overall audit objective. DFAS and DoD identified Year 2000 as an uncorrected material weakness in their Annual Statements of Assurance for FYs 1996 and 1997.
