By congressional mandate, DHS is to develop and submit for approval an expenditure plan for US-VISIT that satisfies certain conditions, including being reviewed by GAO. GAO was required to determine if the plan satisfied these conditions, follow up on recommendations related to the expenditure plan, and provide any other observations. To address the mandate, GAO assessed plans against federal guidelines and industry standards and interviewed the appropriate DHS officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-278/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-278.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-278/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-278.pdf GAO-07-278 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-278 Other Written Product GAO-07-278; Homeland Security: Planned Expenditures for U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Program Need to Be Adequately Defined and Justified; Accountability Biometrics Congressional oversight Documentation Financial analysis Homeland security Immigration and naturalization law Investment planning Procurement planning Program evaluation Program management Strategic planning Cost analysis Transparency DHS Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program
