Inadequate Methods Still Used to Account for and Recover Personnel Costs of the Foreign Military Sales Program

Abstract

The Defense Department has not yet developed reliable estimates of personnel required to administer the Foreign Military Sales program, nor has it included the full Post of employee benefits in calculating the costs of these personnel. As a result, the Department has no real basis for determining if all administrative costs of the program are recovered, as required by law, from foreign purchasers of U.S. military equipment and services. GAO is recommending that the Secretary of Defense revise the guidelines for estimating the number of personnel working on the program and for estimating the cost of employee benefits.
