Return to Article: GAO to move employees to market-based pay

Comptroller General David Walker, who heads GAO, said the agency should have conducted a market study when it launched the bands in 1989. He is encouraging all agencies moving from the General Schedule to a system of broad paybands to complete a market study at the start.
It is extremely interesting that the guy who tells everyone else what to do does not do it correctly himself! It only has been 16 years since he changed his pay system and now he plans to do it correctly. Please stop screwing with the current civil service rules -- particularly in DoD where most supervisors are military and think everyone should live in a barracks and be on call 24/7.
David Walker is one of the guys that brought the government the much unneeded new accrual accounting system that generates information that is of no use to anyone and that most cannot even understand. However, Congress continues to appropriate on a funds basis and not an accrual basis. The accrual statements are totally useless and represent the ultimate in waste and abuse! The DoD comptroller cannot even issue guidance that is correct and keeps fostering a cash accounting system in an attempt to get accrual accounting - but no one points it out. The DoD IG and GAO have no clue and never audit the policies of DoD but do lean on the lower levels for reporting the wrong things, which is what the higher levels have directed!
Want to save time and money -- get rid of the useless accrual accounting for government and strengthen the cash accounting system that is now being destroyed.
