Other written product issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "GAO provided information on possible violations of the Antideficiency Act by the District of Columbia Health and Hospitals Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) or the District of Columbia government, focusing on if the PBC: (1) violated the Anitdeficiency Act in fiscal years 1997 through 2000 by obligating more than Congress appropriated for those fiscal years; and (2) along with the District of Columbia, violated the Antideficiency Act in fiscal years 1997 through 2000 by using the District of Columbia General Fund to pay PBC liabilities during those fiscal years in excess of the resources PBC ultimately realized.

Concerns Raised About Use of Unreconciled Activity Codes to Requisition New and Excess Government Property (open access)

Concerns Raised About Use of Unreconciled Activity Codes to Requisition New and Excess Government Property

Correspondence issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Concerns have been raised about the use of unreconciled activity address codes to requisition new and excess government property. The Department of Defense's (DOD) regulation 4000.25-6-M requires that all military services and DOD activities reconcile the activity codes to the Defense Automatic Addressing System Center's master file. Such reconciliations could prevent unauthorized personnel from requesting and receiving government property. GAO found, however, that many military service points failed to comply with DOD's regulation. Most indicated that they were unaware of the requirement. As a result of this, 27,879 activity codes appeared either in the agency record but not the Addressing System Center's master file or in the Center's file but not the agency record. In addition, agencies that have their own internal activity code files do not routinely reconcile to the master file. This failure resulted in 97,450 activity codes being identified as questionable. In both situations, inventory management is vulnerable to waste, fraud, and abuse. In fact, preliminary indications are that such questionable activity codes were used to requisition millions of dollars worth of excess and new property."
