As a result, GAO has advocated that DOD adopt a comprehensive threat or risk management approach as a framework for decision making. In its 2001 strategic plan, the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), DOD stated its intent to establish an approach--the risk management framework--to balance priorities against risk over time and monitor results against its strategic goals. GAO was asked to (1) assess the extent to which DOD has implemented the framework, including using it to make investment decisions, and (2) identify the most significant challenges DOD faces in implementing the framework, or a similar approach. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-13/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-13.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-13/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-13.pdf GAO-06-13 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-13 Other Written Product GAO-06-13; Defense Management: Additional Actions Needed to Enhance DOD's Risk-Based Approach for Making Resource Decisions; Accountability Decision making Defense budgets Defense capabilities Internal controls Performance measures Policy evaluation Risk management Strategic planning Transparency DOD Quadrennial Defense Review OMB Program Assessment Rating Tool Public Law 103-62
