The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) continues to be plagued by poorly integrated, ineffective, and unreliable information systems that neither satisfy management needs nor provide adequate control. It will take years to fully resolve these problems. This situation exists because HUD's information management resources have not been planned and managed to meet the Department's missions and strategic objectives. In addition, HUD has not established adequate security for its computers that process sensitive and privacy data and lacks contingency plans for data processing in the event of a major disruption or disaster. Finally, HUD's efforts to develop and implement integrated financial systems have been impeded by ineffective planning and management oversight. HUD's recent commitment to strategic planning and its initial steps to address strategic planning represent the first substantive actions taken since GAO reported on the absence of strategic information resources planning a decade ago. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-94-34/html/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-94-34.htm GAO/AIMD-94-34 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-94-34 Chapter Report GAO/AIMD-94-34; HUD Information Resources: Strategic Focus and Improved Management Controls Needed; Management information systems Computer security Internal controls Agency missions Financial management systems Information resources management Strategic information systems planning Proprietary data Information systems analysis Systems architecture HUD Financial Management Systems Strategic Integration Plan HUD Tenant Rental Assistance Certification System Control File System HUD Core Accounting System HUD Agency Accounting System HUD Section 8 Rental Assistance Program HUD Information Resources Management Program FHA Multifamily National System HUD Home Equity Conversion Mortgage System HUD Single Family Accounting Management System Title 5 Section 552 5 U.S.C. 552 Title 31 Section 3512 Title 31 Section 720 31 U.S.C. 3512 31 U.S.C. 720 Title 42 Section 1437f 42 U.S.C. 1437f Title 44 Chapter 35 44 U.S.C.
