GAO has conducted numerous reviews of DHS management functions as well as programs including transportation and border security, immigration enforcement and service delivery, and disaster preparation and response. This testimony addresses why GAO designated DHS's implementation and transformation as a high-risk area, management challenges facing DHS, programmatic challenges facing DHS, and actions DHS should take to strengthen its implementation and transformation efforts. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-398T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-398T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-398T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-398T.pdf GAO-07-398T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-398T Testimony GAO-07-398T; Homeland Security: Management and Programmatic Challenges Facing the Department of Homeland Security; Accountability Disaster recovery Disaster recovery plans Emergency preparedness Federal agency reorganization Federal procurement Financial management General management reviews Homeland security Human capital management Internal controls Program evaluation Strategic planning Transportation security Program implementation High Risk Series 2003 High Risk Series 2005 Volume 116 Page 2135 116 Stat. 2135 Volume 120 Page 303 120 Stat. 303 Public Law 107-296
