What must individuals do if they wish to contest their financial liability?

Submitting additional evidence for further review is the appropriate course of action for individuals wishing to contest their financial liability. This process allows individuals to present new information or documentation that may support their claim and potentially change the outcome of the liability determination. By providing additional evidence, individuals create an opportunity for reconsideration and can ensure that all pertinent facts are taken into account.

Engaging in this process is essential for maintaining accountability and transparency in financial matters, as it grants individuals the chance to clarify circumstances or dispute findings that they believe are unjust. It is a structured approach to addressing grievances under property accountability policies, aligning with the principles established in AR 735-5.

The other options present less formal and potentially ineffective paths for contesting financial liability, which may not align with the established protocols for accountability.
