Financial Management Service: Significant Weaknesses in Computer Controls

  Premium   Download PDF Now (24 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Oct. 4, 1999
Report No. AIMD-00-4
Subject
Summary:

The pervasive weaknesses GAO identified in computer controls at the Treasury Department's Financial Management Service (FMS) during its fiscal year 1998 audit undermine FMS' ability to identify, deter, and respond to computer control weaknesses in a timely manner. GAO found that FMS has corrected the risks associated with only 24 of 72 computer control shortcomings cited in a GAO report issued in July 1998. During the fiscal year 1998 audit, GAO found new general computer control weaknesses in entitywide security planning and management, access controls, systems software, and application software development and change controls. Because of the weaknesses GAO identified, including the lack of an effective entitywide security planning and management program, billions of dollars of payments and collections are at significant risk of loss or fraud, vast amounts of sensitive data are vulnerable to inappropriate disclosure, and critical computer operations could suffer disruptions.
