                      PROGRESS UNDER THE JOINT PROGRAM TO
                  IMPROVE ACCOUNTING IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNUENT


                            INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT


      This report was prepared jointly by staffs of the General Acoount-
ing Office, Treasury Departnent, and Bureau of the Budget for the
heads of the three agencies. It is the second report on progress being
made, under the leadership of these agencies, in bringing about im-
provements in the Government's accounting and financial reporting. The
first report on progress was released under date of January 12, 195O,

      This report is arranged in two parts and an appendix. The first
is a general statement of progress in broad perspective. The second
part describes developments in significant areas; for examplet new
fiscal legislation, improvements and simplification in central account-
ing and related requirements, cooperative work with individual agencies,
more effective methods of auditing, etc. The appendix illustrates the
cooperative work which has been and is being done with individual agencies
of the Government in finding solutions to their special problems and im-
proving their particular accounting systems.

     This report undertakes to summarize progress from the beginning
of the program in order that it may be a more complete and useful
document. Distinction is made, however, between new developments and
those earlier in the program.
