Summary:

This is GAO's third report on the Forest Service's financial problems, which were first identified in an Inspector General audit report on the Forest Service's fiscal year 1995 financial statements. Because of the severity of the problems cited, GAO was asked to continue to monitor, and periodically report on, the Forest Service's efforts to correct its accounting and financial reporting deficiencies. This report discusses the Forest Service's (1) implementation of a new financial accounting system, (2) correction of accounting deficiencies, (3) resolution of key staffing and financial management organizational issues, and (4) commitment to achieving financial accountability.
