GAO-03-341R 1 (2002-12-02)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaamcz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: £ Accountability * Integrity * Reliability United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 December 2, 2002 The Honorable Carl Levin Chairman The Honorable John Warner Ranking Minority Member Committee on Armed Services United States Senate The Honorable Bob Stump Chairman The Honorable Ike Skelton Ranking Minority Member Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives Subject: Cooperative Threat Reduction Program Annual Report Section 1308(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-398) requires the Comptroller General to provide Congress with an assessment of the Department of Defense's annual report on the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program within 90 days of the submission of the annual report to Congress. The Department of Defense submitted its CTR annual report for Fiscal Year 2002 to Congress on September 3, 2002, almost 19 months after the submission date mandated by law. On November 22, 2002, we briefed members of your staff on our assessment of the CTR annual report for Fiscal Year 2002. In summary, we found that the report (1) did not clearly set forth future funding data required by Congress, (2) did not include certain important planning elements, (3) in some instances asserted the use of a more rigorous methodology than was actually used, and (4) incorporated some but not all prior GAO recommendations. We also noted that we had not assessed the validity of the data contained in the annual report because the Department of Defense had not updated most of that data prior to the report's late submission. We performed our work in Washington, D.C., from September 2002 through November 2002 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. We obtained comments on the information contained in the enclosure from the Director of the Department of Defense's CTR Policy Office. In general he concurred with our findings.
