What is the minimum value for a loss involving public funds to initiate a financial liability investigation?

The minimum value for a loss involving public funds that requires initiating a financial liability investigation is set at $750. This threshold has been established to ensure that investigations are conducted only for significant discrepancies, aligning with the need for efficient use of resources. By setting the limit at this amount, the Army balances the necessity of being accountable for public funds while avoiding the burden of investigating minor losses, which may not have a substantial impact on overall financial management. This threshold reflects the seriousness of the financial liability process and reinforces responsible handling of Army property and funds.
