PSAD-80-67 Government Agencies Need Effective Planning to Curb Unnecessary Year-End Spending [i] (1980-07-28)

handle is hein.tera/gagcur0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On Human Resources, Committee On Post Office And Civil Service, House Of Representatives OF THE UNITED STATES Government Agencies Need Effective Planning To Curb Unnecessary Year-End Spending Continued high year-end spending by some Government agencies indicates a need for management controls. Not all year-end spend- ing is uncalled for. Some may be in the Gov- ernment's best interest or reflect manage- ment's desire to control funds. However, such spending can often adversely affect procure- ment, the awarding of grants, and subsidies and cause waste. Congressional and Presidential interest have prompted agencies to take some corrective action. GAO recommends using an advance procurement planning system tied in with the budgetary and apportionment process to help smooth out spending patterns. GAO supports the temporary spending limitation proposed in H.R. 7287 as a means to get a handle on the underlying problems. PSAD-80-67 JULY 28, 1980
