handle is hein.gao/gaoqlp0001 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 Accessible Version June 17, 2024 The Honorable Avril Haines Director of National Intelligence Office of the Director of National Intelligence Washington, D.C. 20511 Priority Open Recommendations: Office of the Director of National Intelligence Dear Director Haines: The purpose of this letter is to provide an update on the overall status of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's (ODNI) implementation of GAO's recommendations and to call your continued personal attention to areas in which GAO's open recommendations should be given high priority.1 Our work on Intelligence Community (IC) oversight has generated numerous recommendations to help enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the IC. We positively note ODNI's recent focus and progress on closing recommendations; however, its implementation rate still lags significantly behind the government-wide average. Specifically, in November 2023, we reported that on a government-wide basis, 75 percent of our recommendations made 4 years ago were implemented.2 ODNI had a four-year implementation rate of 42 percent.3 As of May 2024, ODNI had 46 open recommendations.4 Fully implementing these open recommendations could significantly improve agency operations. Since our May 2023 letter, ODNI has implemented eight of the 19 open priority recommendations, and we closed one priority recommendation as no longer relevant. 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 operation, for example, by realizing large dollar savings; eliminating mismanagement, fraud, and abuse; or making progress toward addressing a high-risk or duplication issue. 2GAO, Performance and Accountability Report Fiscal Year 2023, GAO-24-900483, (Washington, D.C.: Nov. 15, 2023). 3As of May 2024, ODNI's rate of implementation for all the recommendations we have made since 2011 was 52 percent. 41n September 2023, we reported that ODNI had 63 open recommendations, for an implementation rate of 31 percent of all recommendations we have made since 2011. Since we reported on the status of these open recommendations, ODNI has taken steps to implement 17 additional recommendations.
