As you'd expect, the Army's payroll is pretty big; for those on active duty it amounted to about $47 billion in 2010. The GSA found that accounting for this payroll stinks. The Army - as well as the Navy and Air Force - could not identify who should have gotten paid; the personnel files and the pay accounts did not match. Reaching this conclusion was not an overnight job. It took three months before the Army could provide a list of those who received active duty pay and another two months to compare this list to the personnel files. One of the tests GSA used was based on a small sample of 250 pay accounts. The Army could only document 5 of these accounts.
