handle is hein.gao/gaobabhql0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Accounting and Financial Management Division B-248392 August 25, 1992 The Honorable Carol Hallett The Commissioner of Customs Dear Ms. Hallet This report presents the results of our financial management review of the U.S. Customs Service. We conducted this study as part of our review of the effectiveness of Customs' general management and our financial statement audit of Customs. We found that Customs has some major problems accounting for and controlling its resources. To address these problems, among other things, Customs established a financial management structure to implement the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990. Efforts are also underway to develop a single, fully integrated financial management system. However, top management's continued involvement and commitment is essential if financial management improvements are to occur. This report contains several recommendations to you in chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5. The head of a federal agency is required by 31 U.S.C. 720 to submit a written statement on actions taken on these recommendations to the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government Operations not later than 60 days after the date of this letter and to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with the agency's first request for appropriations made more than 60 days after the date of this letter. We are sending copies of this report to the Chairmen and Ranking Minority Members of the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, the House Committee on Government Operations, the House Committee on Ways and Means, Subcommittee on Oversight; the Director of the Office of Management and Budget; the Secretary of the Treasury; and other interested parties. Copies will be made available to others upon request. This report was prepared under the direction of Donald R. Wurtz, Director, Financial Integrity Issues, who may be reached on (202) 275-0850 if you or your staff have any questions. Other major contributors are listed in appendix I. Sincerely yours, Donald H. Chapin Assistant Comptroller General
