HUD Management: Status of Actions to Resolve Serious Internal Control Weaknesses

摘要

Our overall objective was to examine the Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment's (HUD) efforts from March 1999 through May 18, 2000, to address the eight material internal control weaknesses identified in the Inspector General's audits of HUD's fiscal year 1998 financial statements, including the results from the Inspector General's audits of the fiscal year 1999 financial statements. To accomplish this objective, we addressed the following issues: what has HUD accomplished in resolving its material internal control weaknesses and what remains to be done; does HUD have a process for resolving its material internal control weaknesses and overseeing the actions taken to address them; and what obstacles has HUD encountered, if any, in addressing its material internal control weaknesses.
