Report No. IMTEC-88-38
Subject
Summary:

GAO determined whether the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) identified, corrected, and reported its automatic data processing (ADP) weaknesses in compliance with the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982 (FMFIA).

GAO found that FmHA failed to: (1) submit for inclusion in the Department of Agriculture's (USDA) annual FMFIA reports the specific ADP management weaknesses which USDA and Treasury identified in their management reviews; (2) identify widespread patterns of weaknesses occurring among states in its management control reviews of field offices; (3) report that field office internal controls over loan servicing and collection activities were inadequate; (4) correct two ADP weaknesses concerning access controls and its priority-setting process for system design requests, which it had previously reported as corrected; or (5) verify the implementation or effectiveness of corrective actions for uncorrected weaknesses.
