  (March 2009); DFAS-IN Reg. 37-1, chapter 4, Para. 040204). Upon the discovery of a possible ADA
  violation:
  * The commander must issue a flash report within 15 working days of discovery of the violation.
  * The ACOM commander must appoint a “team of experts,” including members from the FM and
  legal communities, to conduct a preliminary investigation.
  * If the preliminary report concludes a violation occurred, the ACOM commander will appoint an
  investigative team to determine the cause of the violation and the responsible parties. For the
  Army, investigations are conducted pursuant to AR 15-6, Procedure for Investigating Officers
  and Boards of Officers (2 Oct 2006).
  * The head of the agency (e.g., SECDEF, for the DOD) must report to the President and Congress
  whenever a violation of 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341(a), 1342, or 1517 is discovered.
  2-43. Individuals responsible for ADA violations shall receive disciplinary action commensurate with the
  circumstances and the severity of the violation. Below is an example of an ADA in which a letter was
  generated to the President, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the U.S. House of
  Representatives.
  Third United States Army, U.S. Army Central Command improperly obligated FY 2004 OMA
  funds for the construction of two phases of an internment facility at Camp Bucca, Iraq. The
  Command should have obligated the FY 2004 Military Construction, Army appropriation. A
  violation of 31 U.S.C. § 1517(a) occurred when no appropriations were available to cover the
  obligations. The command could not obligate OMA appropriations under 10 U.S.C. § 2805
  because the obligated amount exceeded the statute’s obligation amount limitation. Neither could
  the Command utilize authority provided in the National Defense Authorization Act that
  authorizes OMA appropriations for construction outside the U.S. under certain conditions
  because the Secretary of Defense did not make the requisite determination that the conditions
  were present.
  Law of Armed Conflict
  2-44. The Law of Armed Conflict deals with a wide variety of areas, including monetary issues pertaining
  to prisoners of war. Actions regarding the treatment of prisoners of war, from what to do with money that
  prisoners of war are carrying to how much and when to pay them for their labor, are covered within the
  Law of Armed Conflict. Additional information on payments to EPWs is contained in DFAS-IN 37-1,
  chapter 26.
  Feed and Forage Act
  2-45. The Feed and Forage Act (41 USC 11 and 11a) permits the DOD to incur obligations in excess of or
  in advance of available appropriations to ensure necessary funding to support members of the Armed
  Forces of the United States conducting military operations. Clothing, subsistence, forage, fuel, quarters,
  transportation, and medical and hospital supplies, not in excess of the necessities of the current year, may
  be incurred at the direction of the Secretary of Defense. The USD(C) issues instructions to implement the
  order.
  2-46. Although authority to act under the Feed and Forage Act is granted by the DOD, forward-deployed
  units must be prepared to request urgent obligation authority during contingency operations. Units will
  submit requests using USD(C) current policies and procedures through command and resource
  management channels.
  Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990
  2-47. The Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 established a centralized FM structure within the OMB and
  in major departments and agencies. Chief Financial Officer (CFO) responsibilities include:
  * Developing and maintaining integrated accounting and financial management systems.
