Summary:

Allegations have been made about procurement improprieties at the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistant Authority, which Congress established in 1995 to repair the District's failing financial condition and to improve the effectiveness of city operations. The Authority was given the authority to award contracts itself and to review and approve contracts awarded by the District. GAO found that the Authority did not always comply with its procurement regulations and procedures or follow sound contracting principles when it awarded and administered the nine contracts GAO assessed. In addition, the Authority's files for these contracts were incomplete.
