Summary:

GAO reviewed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) continuing implementation of the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA).

GAO found that NASA has improved its FMFIA implementation, but: (1) used a questionable process to identify internal control weaknesses and failed to identify some material weaknesses; (2) did little to change its follow-up process for identified weaknesses; (3) cannot ensure that certain key internal controls are working as intended; and (4) was unable to effectively use its vulnerability assessments because they did not identify the areas of highest risk. GAO also found that, while NASA has made progress in evaluating its accounting systems, it: (1) failed to evaluate 8 of the 20 systems in its accounting system inventory; (2) did not sufficiently test the systems it did evaluate; and (3) did not have an adequate basis to report that its systems were in conformance with the Comptroller General's requirements for accounting systems.
