Government Earns Low Marks

On Proper Use Of Consultants





During the past 20 years, Federal agencies
have failed to make satisfactory progress to
improve their management of consulting serv-
ices. Many of the same problems that existed
as far back as 1961 exist today. Areas needing
improvement include:
   --Identifying expenditures for consulting
   services.

   --Obtaining adequate competition when
   awarding consulting service contracts.

   --Justifying the need for consulting serv-
   ices.

   --Assuring that consultant studies are not
   duplicated.

   --Implementing  effective  management
   controls to assure the proper use of these
   services.

This report recommends that the Congress
and the Office of Management and Budget
strengthen their oversight of consulting ser-
vices.
