In connection with fulfilling our requirement to audit the financial statements of the U.S. government, we audited and reported on the Schedules of Federal Debt Managed by the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. As part of these audits, we performed a review of the general and application information security controls over key BPD financial systems. This report presents the issues identified during our fiscal year 2005 testing of the general and application information security controls that support key BPD automated financial systems relevant to BPD's Schedule of Federal Debt. This report also includes the results of our follow-up on the status of BPD's corrective actions to address recommendations that were contained in our prior years' audits and open as of September 30, 2004. We also assessed the general and application information security controls over key BPD financial systems that the Federal Reserve Banks (FRB) maintain and operate on behalf of BPD. We will issue a separate report to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on the results of such testing. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-522R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-522R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-522R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-522R.pdf GAO-06-522R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-522R Correspondence GAO-06-522R; Bureau of the Public Debt: Areas for Improvement in Information Security Controls; Access control Audit reports Computer security Financial management systems Financial statement audits Information resources management Information security Information systems Internal controls Bureau of the Public Debt Schedule of Federal Debt Title 31 Section 720 31 U.S.C. 720
