Guidance issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "This publication supersedes GAO-01-238G, Grant Financial System Requirements: Checklist for Reviewing Systems Under the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act, January 2001. The Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996 requires that agencies implement and maintain financial management systems that substantially comply with federal financial management systems requirements. The Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP) seeks to promote understanding of key financial management systems concepts and requirements, to provide a framework for establishing integrated financial management systems to support program and financial managers, and to describe specific requirements of financial management systems. This checklist reflects JFMIP's first functional requirements document issued for grant financial systems to assist (1) agencies in implementing and monitoring agency grant financial systems and (2) managers and auditors in reviewing their grant financial systems to determine if they substantially comply with FFMIA. This checklist is not required to be used in assessing grant financial systems. Rather, it is provided as a tool for use by experienced staff and is one in a series of documents GAO has issued to help agencies improve or maintain effective operations."

Correspondence issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "This report responds to Representative John Dingell's request that GAO update our February 4, 2000, report on reporting under Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In addition to reporting on the number of Section 10A reports submitted to the SEC and the status of SEC actions pertaining to Section 10A reports, we also agreed with Rep. Dingell's office to report on the current initiatives by the accounting profession pertaining to the auditor's responsibility for detecting fraudulent financial reporting. On October 1, 2002, we briefed his office on the number of Section 10A reports submitted to the SEC since our last report.

Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "The challenges posed in strengthening homeland security exceed the capacity and authority of any one level of government. Protecting the nation calls for a truly integrated approach bringing together the resources of all levels of government. The Council on Foreign Relations study--Emergency Responders: Drastically Underfunded, Dangerously Unprepared--states that in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the United States must prepare based on the assumption that terrorists will strike again. Although it acknowledges the nation's preparedness has improved, the Council's report highlights gaps in preparedness including shortfalls in personnel, equipment, communications, and other critical capabilities. Given the many needs and high stakes, it is critical that the design of federal grants be geared to fund the highest priority projects with the greatest potential impact for improving homeland security. This testimony discusses possible ways in which the grant system for first responders might be reformed."
