Report on the Survey of the Management of DOD Federal Advisory Committees
Abstract
This is our final report on the Survey of the Management of DOD Federal Advisory Committees for your information and use. The Contract Management Directorate made the survey at the request of the Assistant Inspector General for Administration and Information Management and the Assistant Inspector General for Analysis and Followup, DOD. Our overall audit objective was to determine whether DoD had provided the necessary controls and management oversight for advisory committees. The General Services Administration (GSA) reported that during FY 1989 about $98.4 million was spent to operate 1,042 Federal Advisory Committees sponsored by 60 departments and agencies. DoD spent $12.8 million to operate the 66 DoD committees listed in Enclosure 1. The majority of the non-Federal members on the DoD committees served without compensation. DoD estimated FY 1990 expenditures to be about $12.3 million for 61 committees. The survey determined that the management of DoD Federal Advisory Committees had improved since prior reviews. The Director, Administration and Management initiated prompt action during the survey to correct the administrative and oversight technical deficiencies we identified. The Director's actions will result in continued improvement in the management of advisory committees.
