This final report addresses project officer management of five contracts for Fiscal Year 1992 in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The report shows that ACF could improve contract management by: implementing controls to ensure that project officers complete required training; enforcing the requirements to document all phases of the planning process; and requiring project officers to monitor contract deliverables by maintaining a schedule of deliverable due dates and deliverable files.
