Since 1996, we have periodically reported on Forest Service financial management problems that we, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) 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 House Committee on Resource's Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health 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. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-538/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-538.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-538/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-538.pdf GAO-03-538 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-538 Other Written Product GAO-03-538; Forest Service: Year-end Financial Reporting Significantly Improved, but Certain Underlying Problems Remain; Financial management Financial management systems Financial statement audits Internal controls Strategic planning Forest Service Foundation Financial Information System Title 31 Section 3512 31 U.S.C. 3512 Volume 110 Page 3009 110 Stat. 3009 Public Law 104-208
