Summary:

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Justice's (DOJ) automatic data processing (ADP) management and operation capabilities.

GAO found that: (1) problems affecting the overall management of DOJ information technology resources included DOJ components' development of separate systems, incomplete and unreliable data, and lack of an overall ADP and case management plan; (2) DOJ did not adequately respond to previous GAO recommendations to develop uniform, accurate, and complete case management information; (3) DOJ lacked the resources to adequately monitor its ADP contracts and properly conduct its oversight responsibilities; (4) DOJ structured its central information resources management (IRM) office in accordance with applicable laws; and (5) the DOJ senior IRM official did not have clear authority to direct component organizations to implement departmental IRM decisions.
