The GSI Sales Store is using a cash register that does not (a) produce a customer sales tape, (b) provide a visual display of the amount of the sale, and (c) provide control over the entire function by more than one on/off key lack switch. Station officials are considering replacing this ca.s}i register. To strengthen cash control, we endorse the acquisition anal use of a cash register which will over- come the deficiencies described above. Recommendatian #1: Acquire a new cash regist re or the GSI Sales Store. 25X1A 5. The GSI Sales Store computes its Cost of Goods Sold in a manner which mixes inventory prices at retail with purchase prices at cost. This method results in a.n incorrect Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit on Sales. Accurate profit data is necessary for management to establish sales prices which will recover cost. Recommendation #2: Require GSI to value inventory at cost for the purpose of determining the correct Gross Profit on Sales. Property 6. The current Accountable Officer for Station non- expendable property was appointed on 25 August 1975. No evidence existed that property had been inventoried and Consolidated Memorandum Receipts (CMRs) verified when he assumed accountability. During the audit the annual confirmation of the property CMRs was in process. When this task is completed the Accountable Officer will be able to satisfy himself as to the physical existence and the condition of the property for which he is accountable. Recommendation #3: Complete the annual In ntory o~ Station property and updating of the CMR files. 7. The Deputy Chief of Supply recently assumed responsibility for the communications property issued an Station ChtR #40 and- CNiR #17 from the departing Communications Officer. The Communications Officer scheduled to arrive in September 1976 would be the logical person to assume this respalisibility because of the tech- nical Ilattlr e of the prope~?ty.

Station communications property to the newly assigned Communi- cations Officer. Motor Vehicles 8. Three motor vehicles (IAN 8131, MV 8378 and. TURF 8227) were authorized by Headquarters for disposal. and. were dropped from the Station TVA in. December 1975. These vehicles are sti11 on hand at the Station. Recommendation #k5: Physically dispose o es~~e vehicles or justify their re- instatement on the TVA. 9. Duplicate motor vehicle usage and maintenance records are kept by the Station. The Supply Office keeps one set of records and the Transportation Section keeps the other. Since the information recorded on these records originates within the Transportation Section, that Section should be given the sole responsibility for this record. keeping function. Supply and Transportation officials and the Chief of Logistics agree. Recommendation #6: Assign the respon- sibility of keeping the motor vehicle usage and maintenance records solely to the Transportation Section. .
