Operations Desert Shield/Storm: Foreign Government and Individual Contributions to the Department of Defense

Abstract

As of September 30, 1991, foreign governments and private individuals contributed about $48.7 billion to the Department of Defense (DOD), primarily to defray the costs of Operations Desert Shield and Storm. The Congress has been concerned that contributions accepted by DOD be adequately controlled and disbursed. As a result, Public Laws 101-403 (Oct. 1,1990) and 101-510 (Nov. 5, 1990) required GAO to annually audit contributions to DOD. To comply with this requirement, GAO reviewed contributions accepted as of the end of fiscal year 1991 to determine whether DOD had administered these contributions in accordance with applicable legislative and accounting requirements.
