HIGH-RISK SERIES: Substantial Efforts Needed to Achieve Greater Progress on High-Risk Areas

Abstract

Every 2 years, we report on federal programs/operations that are vulnerable to waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement, or that need broad reformour High Risk List. Our 2019 report reviews the status of areas on the list and outlines steps to lasting solutions. We testified in front of the Senate that the ratings for over half the 35 areas on our list remain unchanged. Since our last update, 7 areas improved and 3 regressed. We added 2 areas (government-wide personnel security clearance process and VA acquisition management) and removed 2 areas due to their progress (mitigating gaps in weather satellite data and DOD supply chain management).
