Summary

GAO summarized the results of its reviews of Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to implement and comply with the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982.

GAO found that DOD made progress in implementing the act. However, improvements in the areas of personnel training, vulnerability assessments, and reporting are needed. GAO noted that DOD has recognized the need to improve its internal control evaluation process and has taken corrective actions in weak areas. GAO believes that such actions will enhance DOD efforts to comply with the act in the future and provide information regarding DOD internal controls.
