Department of Defense: More than 75 Percent of All SIGAR Audit and Inspection Report Recommendations Have Been Implemented

Abstract

WHAT SIGAR REVIEWED. SIGAR initiated this review to (1) identify and assess the status of SIGAR recommendations made to the Department of Defense (DOD) in all performance audits, financial audits, and inspections; and(2) review actions taken or planned by DOD to address any open recommendations. To accomplish these objectives, SIGAR examined all 209 recommendations made to DOD from SIGAR's inception in January 2008 through June 2014, and conducted an analysis to determine the number of open, closed and implemented, and closed but not implemented recommendations. In conducting the analysis, SIGAR categorized each recommendation by broad sector, recommended action, and intended outcome. Finally, SIGAR examined documentation that DOD provided for each recommendation to determine any quantifiable financial benefit in the form of cost savings or recovered funds. This report contains no new recommendations.
