Summary:

This testimony discusses financial management and logistics management issues relating to the effectiveness and efficiency of the Defense Department's (DOD) operations. GAO focuses on the operations of DOD's working capital funds, which collect and disburse more than $65 billion annually, and on DOD's management of the $13 billion depot maintenance program. DOD has consistently experienced losses in the operations of various working capital funds, including the depot maintenance activity group, and has had to request additional money to support their operations. GAO has included these issues in its list of government programs at high risk for waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. (See GAO/HR-97-3 and GAO/HR-97-7.)
