Acquisition and Management of Maintenance and Diagnostic Automatic Test Equipment
Abstract
As part of our DoD-wide Audit of the Acquisition and Management of Maintenance and Diagnostic Automatic Test Equipment, this report describes our evaluation of the effectiveness of DoD-wide guidance and procedures for monitoring the acquisition and management of the equipment. The report also summarizes findings specific to the Military Departments as detailed in separate audit reports. Although no complete records exist showing the value of the total inventory of maintenance and diagnostic automatic test equipment, in 1985, the then Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower, Installations, and Logistics) estimated that the total value of all test equipment, including automatic test equipment, was $31 billion. Objectives. Our overall audit objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over the acquisition and management of maintenance and diagnostic automatic test equipment by the Military Departments. The specific objective of this part of the audit was to evaluate the effectiveness of DoD-wide guidance and procedures for monitoring the acquisition and management of maintenance and diagnostic automatic test equipment.
