Improvements to Controls Over Cash Are Needed at Army Disbursing Stations in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
We determined whether the controls at the Army disbursing stations in Kuwait (Disbursing Station Symbol Numbers [DSSNs] 8550 and 8748) and Saudi Arabia (DSSN 5588) were adequate to safeguard, account for, document, and report cash held at those sites. In addition, we evaluated whether the U.S. Army Financial Management Command (USAFMCOM) effectively implemented technical oversight and provided assistance to the Army disbursing station in Saudi Arabia. The three disbursing stations we reviewed had $4.9 million in cash on hand at the time of our cash counts.
