Subject
Summary:

This report reviews how the Agency for International Development (AID) implemented 1990 legislation that revised the rules governing federal agencies' management of fixed-year appropriations whose period of availability for obligation had ended--also known as "expired appropriations." GAO discusses (1) AID's responses to the requirements of the law, including actions it has taken to preserve funds that would otherwise have been canceled pursuant to these sections, and (2) issues related to the obligation and expenditure of "no-year-if-obligated" funds provided to AID in its annual appropriation acts since fiscal year 1987, including the extent to which the no-year-if-obligated provision in AID's appropriations has enabled the agency to more effectively manage its operations.
