The team was intended to be temporary, lasting only until the reconciliation project and other trust fund improvements were completed--possibly as long as eight years. This report examines whether BIA, in creating the team, (1) followed Interior Department guidelines, (2) notified Congress and received its approval before transferring money and staff to the team, and (3) submitted reorganization proposals to the relevant Advisory Task Force on BIA Reorganization for consideration. GAO also identifies the officials responsible for creating the team and their present jobs, as well as Interior Department and BIA efforts to investigate the circumstances surrounding the team's creation. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-93-74/html/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-93-74.htm GAO/AIMD-93-74 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-93-74 Letter Report GAO/AIMD-93-74; Financial Management: Creation of Bureau of Indian Affairs' Trust Fund Special Projects Team; Indian affairs legislation Trust funds Internal controls Interagency relations Federal agency reorganization Investigations into federal agencies Reporting requirements Oversight by Congress Allocation (Government accounting) Funds management Albuquerque (NM) District of Columbia Native American Trust Fund Accounting and Management Reform Act of 1993 Indian Trust Fund
