Subject
Summary:

In 1989 the General Services Administration (GSA) began requiring contractors to collect data from paid transportation bills in addition to conducting its standard audit. This report looks at GSA's use of private companies to audit commercial transportation charges paid by federal agencies. GAO discusses whether (1) collecting the additional data resulted in more-thorough audits, (2) GSA adequately verified that the contractors provided the required data and GSA used it, (3) the contractors duplicated Defense Department data collection efforts, and (4) GSA has a basis for establishing its fees for data collection.
