which include criteria on the adequacy and appropriateness of eviden-
tiary 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 allow any margin of error except for answers
reporting square footage.
* For questions with answers reporting square footage, we defined
significant errors as greater than 10 percent.
* For questions with multiple answers and single answers with
voluminous supporting documentation, we allowed errors up to
25 percent in the samples we reviewed, provided the errors
weren't significant (determined by auditor judgment except for
answers reporting square footage).
We didn't rely on computer-generated data to validate responses from
Army corporate databases, but instead validated the accuracy of data by
comparison with source documentation or physical attributes. When
practicable, we also validated the installation responses from other data-
bases in the same manner. For all other responses, we worked with the
installation administrator to obtain the evidence needed to answer all
three objectives.
4. Results
a. Adequacy of Support. Answers for 9 of 61 questions we
reviewed weren't adequately supported with appropriate evidentiary
matter. The most common reasons Fort Belvoir didn't support an
answer were that supporting documentation provided to us didn't answer
the question, no installation data was available to support the answer to
the question, or personnel didn't maintain an audit trail of how they
determined amounts. For example, the installation:
* Misinterpreted one question and provided support for a facility
area instead of the equipment footprint.
