Department of Defense Stock Funds - Accomplishments, Problems, and Ways to Improve

Abstract

In fiscal year 1972, the Department of Defense's (DOD's) stock funds controlled inventories worth about $8.5 billion and reported net sales of about $10.4 billion. These funds finance and hold inventories of repair parts, subsistence, fuel, and other expense-type consumable supplies for sale to military units. Because of the amount of money involved, GAO reviewed selected aspects of stock fund management to identify the accomplishments of stock funds and problems that may be impeding attainment of the full benefits of stock fund operations.
