Depot Maintenance: Actions Needed to Provide More Consistent Funding Allocation Data to Congress

Abstract

Although DOD reported to Congress that it complied with the 50-50 requirement for fiscal year 2005, GAO could not validate compliance due to weaknesses in DOD's financial management systems and the processes used to collect and report 50-50 data. DOD's April 2006 report provides an approximation of the depot maintenance funding allocation between the public and private sectors for fiscal year 2005. GAO identified errors in the reported data which, if adjusted, would increase the Army's private-sector funding allocation percentage from 49.4 percent to 50 percent. GAO found that 50-50 funding allocation data were not being consistently reported because some maintenance depots were reporting expenditures rather than following Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) guidance and reporting obligations. Combining obligations and expenditures produces an inaccurate accounting of 50-50 funding allocations.
