Department of Veterans Affairs: Audit of the Project Management Accountability System Implementation

摘要

We conducted this audit to determine whether the Office of Information and Technology (OIT) has effectively planned and implemented the Project Management Accountability System (PMAS) with the management controls needed to ensure project managers deliver information technology (IT) projects within cost, schedule, and performance objectives. During meetings in preparation for this audit, the Assistant Secretary for Information and Technology expressed concerns about data reliability and the overall effectiveness of PMAS to control IT development projects. This audit report provides information to address his concerns. Appendix A provides background information on the PMAS initiative, while Appendix B provides a detailed description of our audit scope and methodology.
