Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) inventory records, its inventory research, and its inventory security.

GAO found that: (1) while DLA data showed a net inventory gain for fiscal years 1985 and 1986, GAO data showed a net inventory loss; (2) DLA did not include 88 percent of its inventory adjustments in its inventory accuracy reports; (3) items stored in caged areas had lower-than-expected accuracy rates; (4) DLA could better research the causes of inventory discrepancies; and (5) DLA was improperly storing drugs and other pilferable items.
