REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES




OPM's Revolving Fund Policy Should Be Clarified

And Management Controls Strengthened




The Office of Personnel Management operates a revolving
fund through which it finances background investigations,
training, and other reimbursable programs. OPM's policy
states, as a general rule, that its authority to spend money
on reimbursable work will be limited to the amount of
income generated. But OPM officials have different interpre-
tations of the period of time over which each revolving fund
activity should recover its costs,
Individual revolving fund activities accumulated surpluses
and deficits over several years. During fiscal year 1981,
OPM wasfaced with the possibility of ceasing its revolving
fund activities because it did not have enough funds to pay
the costs of its operations. GAO believes that defining the
statutory concept of operating each revolving fund activity
on an actual cost basis over a reasonable period of time
may help prevent this situation from occurring again.
Further, although OPM has improved its management
controls, additional improvements would be helpful.

OPM generally agreed with GAO's recommendations to
improve its revolving fund management.
