GAO-23-106370 1 (2023-05-16)

handle is hein.gao/gaoorj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States May 16, 2023 The Honorable Kiran A. Ahuja Director Office of Personnel Management 1900 E Street, NW Washington, DC 20415-1000 Priority Open Recommendations: Office of Personnel Management Dear Ms. Ahuja: The purpose of this letter is to provide an update on the overall status of the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) implementation of GAO's recommendations and to call your continued personal attention to areas where open recommendations should be given high priority.1 In November 2022, we reported that, on a government-wide basis, 77 percent of our recommendations made 4 years ago were implemented.2 OPM's recommendation implementation rate was about 46 percent. As of April 2023, OPM had 64 open recommendations. Fully implementing these open recommendations could significantly improve both OPM's operations and its efforts to assist federal agencies in addressing various human capital management issues. Since our June 2022 letter, OPM has implemented two of our 15 open priority recommendations. OPM provides and tracks specialized training for all individuals, including contractors, who have significant security responsibilities, as we recommended in our May 2016 report.3 This will help ensure that individuals with significant security responsibilities carry out their job in a manner that protects the systems they work with. 1Priority open recommendations are those that GAO believes warrant priority attention from heads of key departments or agencies. They are highlighted because, upon implementation, they may significantly improve government operations, for example, by realizing large dollar savings; eliminating mismanagement, fraud, and abuse; or making progress toward addressing a high-risk or fragmentation, overlap, or duplication issue. 2GAO, Performance and Accountability Report: Fiscal Year 2022, GAO-23-900398 (Washington, D.C.: Nov. 15, 2022). 3GAO, Information Security: Agencies Need to Improve Controls over Selected High-Impact Systems, GAO-16-501 (Washington, D.C.: May 18, 2016).
