By congressional mandate, plans for expenditure of appropriated funds on this system, the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), must meet certain conditions, including GAO review. This study addresses whether the fiscal year 2005 plan satisfies these conditions, describes the status of DHS's efforts to implement prior GAO recommendations for improving ACE management, and provides observations about the plan and DHS's management of the program. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-267/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-267.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-267/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-267.pdf GAO-05-267 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-267 Other Written Product GAO-05-267; Information Technology: Customs Automated Commercial Environment Program Progressing, but Need for Management Improvements Continues; Accountability Appropriated funds Budget outlays Cost overruns Federal funds Federal procurement Funds management International trade Performance measures Program evaluation Schedule slippages Trade policies National preparedness Customs administration Procurement planning Strategic planning Border security Customs Service Automated Commercial Environment System
