DoD business systems oversight not good enough, says GAO

Business systems oversight at the Defense Department continues to fall short, says the Government Accountability Office in a June 29 report.

According to data from the Deputy Chief Management Officer, the Defense Department has budgeted $23.58 billion on business systems in the current fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1. The GAO report cites a different figure, that of $17.4 billion, but also notes that DoD business system reporting mechanisms are inconsistent from one to the other.
