At the request of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), the Commander in Chief, Pacific Command, and the Deputy Director, Defense Security Assistance Agency, the Defense Audit Service is coordinating comprehensive audit coverage of the U.S. ground force reductions in the Republic of Korea and the related Republic of Korea compensation programs announced by the President and being considered by the Congress. The primary objective of our work is to assist Defense management in evaluating the soundness of procedures and controls for the planning, programing, and execution phases of the programs. A secondary goal is to minimize the occurrence of piecemeal and redundant audits by the separate Defense audit organizations and the U.S. General Accounting Office.
