Depot Maintenance: Change in Reporting Practices and Requirements Could Enhance Congressional Oversight

Abstract

While DODs prior-years report for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 showed the U.S. Army and Navy to be below the 50-percent funding limitation on private sector workloads and the Air Force to be above it, continuing weaknesses in DODs data gathering and reporting processes prevented GAO from determining with precision whether the services complied with the 50-50requirement. As in past years, GAO found errors and omissions in the data. For example, the Army erroneously reported workloads at two commands in millions of dollars instead of thousands of dollars, resulting in a $414millionor 8 percentoverstatement of both public- and private-sector obligations for the 2 years in total.
