Weak Internal Controls Make Some Navy Activities Vulnerable to Fraud, Waste, and Abuse

Abstract

Weaknesses in internal controls at the Naval Sea Systems Command, including two shipyards, and two other activities that provide services to the command make them vulnerable to fraudulent acts as well as nonintentional misuse of Federal funds. GAO believes that prevention is the key to combating fraud and abuse in Government, and that sound internal controls are the best means of prevention. The Navy should strengthen internal controls and minimize the vulnerability to fraud, waste, and abuse. This report is one of series GAO is issuing on its vulnerability assessments of Federal agencies.
