REPORT BY THE U. S.



General Accounting Office


Stronger Procurement Controls

In The Far East Would Minimize

Fraud And Abuse


Documented cases show that procurement
abuse is prevalent in some U.S. Government
offices overseas. There are indications of

     --prohibited and questionable purchases,

     --questionable payments,

     --purchases exceeding authority,

     --inadequate competition, and

     --bribery and collusion.

This report discusses problems encountered
overseas and identifies factors which alleviate
or aggravate them. GAO recommends

     --centralizing procurement authority,

     --improving internal review and follow-
     up,
     --providing greater U.S. citizen control
     of procurements, and

     --reducing  frequency of questionable
     purchases.
