Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) fiscal year (FY) 1983 financial reports to determine their accuracy and whether any inaccuracies that may have occurred were due to official misconduct.

GAO found that FWS: (1) submitted inaccurate reports for its FY 1983 Resource Management Program; (2) did not promptly record $420,000 of known obligations; (3) improperly charged $900,000 to its FY 1984 appropriation; (4) did not determine whether a violation occurred until more than 2 years after the appropriation expired; and (5) spent an unreasonable amount of time determining whether a violation had occurred.
