Statement of Robert J. Lieberman Deputy Inspector General Department of Defense Before the Subcommittee on National Security, Veterans Affairs and International Relations, House Committee on Government Reform on Top Defense Management Challenges

Abstract

I am pleased to be here this morning to discuss the management challenges facing the Department of Defense, from the standpoint of its internal auditors and investigators. My testimony will summarize and update the written analysis that we provided to various congressional leaders last December 1. * In that analysis, we identified 10 areas, each containing multiple significant challenges. Those areas were: (1) information technology management, especially acquiring new systems; (2) information system security; (3) other security concerns; (4) financial management; (5) acquisition of weapons, supplies and services; (6) peacetime health care; (7) supply inventory management; (8) other infrastructure issues; (9) readiness; and (10) human capital management.
