This is one of a series of reports being issued by the Inspector General, DoD, in accordance with an informal partnership with the Chief Information Officer, DoD, to monitor DoD efforts to address the year 2000 computing challenge. For a listing of audit projects addressing the issue, see the year 2000 webpage on the IGnet at http://www.ignet.gov. Audit Objectives. The overall audit objective was to determine whether the initiatives of the Army major range and test facility base at Kwajalein to address the year 2000 computer problems were effective and whether they complied with the DoD Year 2000 Management Plan. Audit Results. Officials from the Army Kwajalein Missile Range initiated positive actions to correctly report the progress or three systems that we reviewed, update the cost estimate to implement Y2K corrections and report any adverse budget impacts, prepare a risk-management plan that includes a prioritized list of noncompliant systems, include independent verification of test planning and test results, and prepare a contingency plan. The audit results are detailed in Part I.
