Disappointing Progress In Improving

Althou           agencies spend hun-
dreds of millions annually to audit Federal
programs and operations, most of them still
lack effective systems for resolving audit find-
ings. In 1978, GAO reported $4.3 billion in
unresolved findings at 34 agencies. This re-
port shows the problem is worsening.
Following GAO's 1978 report, the Office of
Management and Budget revised its policy
guidelines emphasizing prompt and proper
resolution of audit findings. Most agencies'
systems, however, are not yet in compliance.              114396
GAO turned up numerous examples of agency
failures to correct problems or improve opera-
tions as recommended by audit.

OMB needs to clarify its policy guidance on
audit resolution and extend its oversight to
make sure agencies comply with it. Agency
management must be made accountable for
taking appropriate actions to resolve audit
findings.
