'BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE


Report To The Administrator Of

Veterans Affairs







VA's Program To Authorize

Courses For Veterans

Needs Improved Management


  Each of the past 5 years the Veterans Admin-
  istration (VA) has paid State Approval Agen-
  cies about $13.4 million to review and
  approve school courses and training estab-
  lishments for veterans. This figure has re-
  mained relatively constant despite the fact
  that program activity has decreased by over
  40 percent during the same period.

  VA could better manage the program
  through closer oversight and control over
  State Approval Agency activities and by
  ensuring that its reporting and recordkeep-
  ing requirements and its system of retaining
  recoirds are in accord with the acceptable
  information management practices ad-
  dressed in the Paperwork Reduction Act of
  1980.

  GAO recommends that VA revise its State
  Approval Agency contracts and provide the
  oversight necessary to achieve an effective
  and efficient approval program. GAO also
  recommends actions to control both unnec-
  essary paperwork and inefficient require-
  ments regarding how records are retained.
