Report To The Administrator,

General Services Administration


Improvements Needed !ri GSA's

Second Year Implementation

Of The Financial Integrity Act


GAO conducted reviews of 23 federal agencies' efforts to
implement the Financial Integrity Act of 1982. To help
reduce fraud, waste, and abuse in government op-
erations, the act requires federal agencies to evaluate
their systems of accounting and internal control and
annually report the results to the President and the
Congress.

GSA is to be commended for its forthright disclosures of
internal control and accounting system weaknesses
known to senior management. However, GAO found that
the 2,000 evaluations made under the act could not be
relied on to (1) identify internal control deficiencies or
vulnerabilities to such problems and (2) determine the
extent to which accounting systems did not conform to
the Comptroller General's requirements. GAO makes
recommendations for improving evaluation quality--a
necessary step in assuring internal control and account-
ing system adequacy.
