Summary:

Drawing on GAO's high-risk series (GAO/HR-97-1 through GAO/HR-97-14, Feb. 1997), the first testimony discusses major government programs prone to waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. GAO focuses on high-risk areas within the Internal Revenue Service, Medicare, and the Supplemental Security Income Program. GAO also discusses such other vulnerable areas as financial management at the Customs Service, information security weaknesses, and the "Year 2000" problem. The second testimony addresses solutions to these serious management problems, which cost taxpayers billions of dollars and undermine the quality of government services. GAO outlines the steps that need to be taken to fix these problems.
