Semiannual Report to the Congress

Abstract

During the 6-month period ending March 3 1, 2000, the Office of the Inspector General, Department of Defense, (OIG, DoD), continued to place emphasis on reducing vulnerabilities and improving controls in the principal high risk areas in the Department: Acquisition, Financial Management, Infrastructure and Information Technology. In addition, the OIG, DoD, gave special emphasis to the area of Information Assurance. In fiscal year 1999, the DoD purchased about $140 billion of goods and services with 14.8 million purchase actions, about 57,000 on an average working day. The DoD internal audit agencies issued 25 reports on acquisition management. The audit results underscore the need to continue efforts to strengthen acquisition reform efforts, improve DoD acquisition policies and practices, place more management emphasis on processes for managing contracts for services and dealing with workforce management issues and the impact of reductions on the DoD acquisition workforce.
