Census Monitoring Board: Review of Congressional Side Shutdown Activities

Abstract

This report concerns certain shutdown activities of the Congressional side of the Census Monitoring Board (CMBC), which under statute ceased to exist on September 30, 2001. GAO reviewed eight areas of CMBC shutdown activities. GAO was not requested to nor did we review similar shutdown activities of the Presidential side of the Census Monitoring Board (CMBP). We visited the site of the former CMBC offices on October 1, 2001, to ascertain if former personnel were present and to observe shutdown activities being conducted by the Government Printing Office (GPO). CMBC had entered into an interagency agreement with GPO to pay CMBC bills and to provide administrative support services. We obtained CMBC financial and other information from GPO and interviewed GPO officials who were directly involved with CMBC shutdown activities. We examined CMBC documents to determine financial cutoff procedures and conducted other audit tests as necessary. Our work was conducted from October through December 2001 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards.
