The systems were to generate project directories showing the current status of projects and other types of reports on program activities HUD requirements for the preparation and submission of data on the four community development programs we reviewed stress the importance of HUD regional and area offices--the prime source of information for the reports--submitting timely, accurate, and complete data to the central office of HUD. In this regard, the field offices are required to promptly notify the ADP Division of any changes in the status of the projects so that the reporting systems, in line with approved community development reporting objectives, will produce timely and accurate reports.
