This thesis studies ways in which the Naval Audit Service can adapt
microcomputers and microcomputer software to audit and audit-related work. It
discusses the introduction and implementation of microcomputers in the Naval Audit
Service. It also surveys current software from three sources-commercial, government
and public domain. During the software survey, it evaluates the usefulness of that
software for Naval Audit Service audit applications. A survey of current audit practices
using microcomputers was conducted in public accounting firms, audit departments in
industry*, the Naval Audit Service and federal government agencies other than the
Naval Audit Service. Finally, this thesis makes recommendations for the
implementation and efficient use of microcomputers in the Naval Audit Service.
