DOD Hotline Allegations on the Defense Logistics Agency Data, Review, Analysis, Monitoring Aid
Abstract
The audit was performed in response to allegations made to the DoD Hotline. In 1988 the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) began developing the Data, Review, Analysis, Monitoring Aid (the project) to improve their ability to forecast the number and types of parts needed to support weapon systems. Between 1989 and 1996 DLA spent $3.7 million developing the project. A DoD Hotline complainant alleged that DLA: (1) mismanaged the project, (2) did not meet the project objectives, (3) improperly competed the contracts for project development, and (4) inappropriately used funds. The complaint further alleged that the project duplicates current or future information technology efforts. The audit objectives were to determine whether DLA properly managed the project and met its project objectives, whether DLA competed the contracts for the project, whether funds were appropriately used, and whether the project duplicated other current or future information technology efforts. We also evaluated the management control program as it related to the audit objectives.
