The Subcommittee on Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities, House Committee on Armed Services, asked GAO to provide its perspectives on (1) the impact long-standing financial and related business weaknesses continue to have on DOD, (2) the underlying causes of DOD business transformation challenges, and (3) DOD business transformation efforts. In addition, GAO reiterates the key elements to successful reform: (1) an integrated business transformation strategy, (2) sustained leadership and resource control, (3) clear lines of responsibility and accountability, (4) results-oriented performance, (5) appropriate incentives and consequences, (6) an enterprise architecture to guide reform efforts, and (7) effective monitoring and oversight. GAO also offers two suggestions for legislative consideration that are intended to improve the likelihood of meaningful, broad-based financial management and related business reform at DOD. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-626T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-626T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-626T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-626T.pdf GAO-04-626T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-626T Testimony GAO-04-626T; Department of Defense: Further Actions Needed to Establish and Implement a Framework for Successful Business Transformation; Accountability Accounting procedures Best practices Defense economic analysis Employee incentives Federal agency reorganization Financial management Financial management systems Information resources management Internal controls Management information systems Performance measures Best practices methodology Enterprise architecture DOD Business Management Modernization Program Volume 104 Page 2838 Volume 104 Page 2842 104 Stat. 2838 104 Stat. 2842 Volume 110 Page 3009-389-3009-393 110 Stat. 3009-389-3009-393 Volume 115 Page 1012 115 Stat. 1012 Volume 116 Page 1519 Volume 116 Page 2458 116 Stat. 1519 116 Stat. 2458 Public Law 101-576 Public Law 104-208 Public Law 107-107 Public Law 107-248 Public Law 107-314
