Summary:

Financial management problems have continued to plague the Forest Service--as reflected in the adverse opinion of the Agriculture Department's (USDA) Inspector General (IG) on the Forest Service's fiscal year 1995 financial statement. Because of the severity of these problems, the Forest Service did not prepare financial statements for fiscal year 1996 but chose instead to focus on problem resolution. Financial statements were prepared for fiscal year 1997, and the audit of those statements is near completion; as of July 1, 1998, the USDA IG was finalizing its report. These two testimonies focus primarily on the fiscal year 1995 audit results, which disclosed several serious weaknesses, most of which still exist today. GAO also briefly discusses the Forest Service's plans to address these weaknesses.
