SUBJECT: Validation of Data for Base Realignment and Closure 2005,
Fort Rucker, Alabama (Project Code A-2003-IMT-0440.023), Audit
Report: A-2004-0419-IMT
3. Objectives and Scope
a. Our objectives were to determine if:
* Certified data provided to The Army Basing Study Group and
Joint Cross-Service Groups was adequately supported with
appropriate evidentiary matter.
* Certified data was accurate.
* BRAC 2005 management controls were in place and operating at
installations.
b. Fort Rucker data elements for the installation capacity data call
included 344 questions the installation answered, 4 questions pre-
populated from a corporate database, and 204 questions Fort Rucker
considered "not applicable"-a total of 552 questions. To answer our
first two objectives, we reviewed data elements judgmentally selected for
validation at all installations visited, questions randomly selected for
validation at Fort Rucker, and all questions Fort Rucker considered "not
applicable." In total, we reviewed 69 questions for adequacy and accu-
racy (65 questions the installation answered and the 4 corporate ques-
tions), and all questions the installation considered "not applicable." To
answer the third objective, we evaluated BRAC 2005 management con-
trols related to installations.
c. We conducted our review during May and June 2004 in accord-
ance with generally accepted government auditing standards, which
include criteria on the adequacy and appropriateness of evidentiary
matter, accuracy and management controls. We assessed the accuracy
of the installation's answers using these specific criteria:
* For questions with a single answer and minimal support require-
ments, we didn't have any margin of error, except for answers
reporting square footage.
* For questions with answers reporting square footage, we defined
significant error as greater than 10 percent.
