Project Announcement: Agreed-Upon Procedures for Reviewing the FY 2018 Civilian Payroll Withholding Data and Enrollment Information (Project No. D2018-D000FP-0116.000)

We plan to begin the subject audit in March 2018. The Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 17-03, "Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements," September 29, 2017, requires that we perform certain agreed-upon procedures on DoD payroll and personnel files. Our objective is to assist the Office of Personnel Management in assessing whether health, life insurance, and retirement benefits withholdings, contributions, and enrollment information submitted by the Defense finance and Accounting Service for FY 2018 were reasonable and accurate. In addition, we will assist in identifying and correcting errors related to the processing and distribution of Combined Federal Campaign payroll deductions. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service currently processes payroll for the DoD, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Veterans Affairs. In addition to our review of DoD personnel files, we plan to review the Veterans Affairs personnel files for this year's engagement. Auditors from the Inspector General offices for the Department of Energy and Department of Health and Human Services will review the personnel files for their respective agencies.
