The exhibit's content should reflect controls that agencies have established to ensure good project management, as well as showing that they have defined cost, schedule, and performance goals. It is thus a tool to help OMB and agencies identify and correct poorly planned or performing investments. In its budget and oversight role, OMB relies on the accuracy and completeness of this information. GAO was asked to determine the extent to which selected agencies have underlying support for the information in their fiscal year 2006 exhibit 300s. From five major departments having over $1 billion in IT expenditures in that year, GAO chose for analysis 29 exhibits for projects that supported a cross section of federal activities. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-250/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-250.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-250/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-250.pdf GAO-06-250 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-250 Other Written Product GAO-06-250; Information Technology: Agencies Need to Improve the Accuracy and Reliability of Investment Information; Data integrity Documentation Information technology Internal controls Investment planning IT investment management Performance management Performance measures Quality control Regulatory agencies
