Forest Service: Year-End Financial Reporting Significantly Improved, but Certain Underlying Problems Remain.

摘要

Since 1996, we have periodically reported on Forest Service financial management problems that we, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of the Inspector General, and other independent auditors have identified. We have designated the Forest Service financial management as a high-risk area since 1999. Because of these longstanding financial management deficiencies, the Subcommittee asked GAO to report on the Forest Service's progress in correcting its financial management problems and on remaining challenges and actions underway to address those challenges.
