Computer Security for the Defense Civilian Pay System

Authors: INSPECTOR GENERAL DEPT OF DEFENSE ARLINGTON VA
Abstract:
This is the second audit of security software controls for the Defense Civilian Pay System, a civilian pay application. In FY 1991, the Defense Civilian Pay System was approved as the migratory civilian pay system for DoD. The application serves 733,000 employees and processes more than 38 billion in payroll transactions annually. Employee pay records and account data are maintained by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Denver Center, Denver, Colorado, and DFAS Operating Locations in Charleston, South Carolina, and Pensacola, Florida. Computer programming support is provided by the DFAS systems Engineering Organization, Pensacola. The Defense Information Systems Agency Area Command, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and Systems Support Office, Dayton, Ohio, provide computer support for the pay data maintained by DFAS. The primary audit objective was to determine whether security software controls over the Defense Civilian Pay System adequately safeguarded the data integrity of employee payroll records. The audit also evaluated the management control program of DFAS and the Defense Information Systems Agency related to the other audit objectives.
