Despite its significant investment in business systems, the Department of Defense (DOD) continues to have long-standing financial and inventory management problems that prevent it from producing reliable and timely information for making decisions and for accurately reporting on its billions of dollars of inventory. GAO was asked to (1) identify DOD's fiscal year 2004 estimated funding for its business systems, (2) determine if DOD has effective control and accountability over its business systems investments, and (3) determine whether selected business systems will help resolve some of DOD's long-standing problems and whether they are being effectively managed. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-615/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-615.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-615/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-615.pdf GAO-04-615 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-615 Other Written Product GAO-04-615; DOD Business Systems Modernization: Billions Continue to Be Invested with Inadequate Management Oversight and Accountability; Accountability ADP procurement Defense budgets Defense cost control Defense procurement Financial management systems Information resources management Information technology Inventory control systems Strategic information systems planning Systems design Systems evaluation Budget requests Timeliness Title 10 Section 2315 10 U.S.C. 2315 Title 31 Chapter 39 31 U.S.C.
