To follow up on the status of recommendations in our 1980 report, we interviewed ORS headquarters personnel and examined pertinent documents concerning ORS' actions taken in response to the report's recommendations. We also made a test to determine the accuracy and reliability of data in the ORS automated data system, which is designed primarily to provide management with information on the nature and status of discrimination com- plaints accepted for investigation by ORS. This test was based on a random sample of 22 data elements for 52 of the universe of 558 cases in the ORS system. (The system and test results are discussed on pp. 4 to 6.) Our follow-up work, performed at ORS headquarters in Washington, D.C., between September 1984 and January 1985, was.done in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. As requested by your office, however, we did not obtain agency comments on this report. As discussed with your office, we will meet with Subcommit- tee staff to reach agreement on the specific data to be devel- oped regarding other matters included in your request. (118117) 126575
