Congress has been at the forefront in addressing issues related to DOD's travel management practices with the hearing today being another example of its oversight efforts. Because of widespread congressional interest in the Defense Travel System (DTS), GAO's current audit is being performed under the statutory authority given to the Comptroller General of the United States. GAO's testimony is based on the preliminary results of that audit and focuses on the following three key questions: (1) Has DOD effectively tested key functionality in DTS related to flights and fare information? (2) Will DTS correct the problems related to DOD travel previously identified by GAO and others? and (3) What challenges remain in ensuring that DTS achieves its goal as DOD's standard travel system? In addition, the Subcommittee asked that GAO provide a description of the intellectual property rights of DOD in DTS. Subsequent to this testimony, GAO plans to issue a report that will include recommendations to the Secretary of Defense aimed at improving the department's implementation of DTS. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-998T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-998T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-998T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-998T.pdf GAO-05-998T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-998T Testimony GAO-05-998T; DOD Business Transformation: Preliminary Observations on the Defense Travel System; Data integrity Performance measures Schedule slippages Systems analysis Systems design Systems evaluation Systems management Systems testing Travel Travel vouchers Defense Travel System
