In 2003, at the request of Congress, GAO issued a management review of AOC that contained recommendations designed to help AOC become more strategic and accountable. Subsequently, Congress directed GAO to monitor AOC's progress in implementing recommendations. This is the fourth status report on AOC's progress and summarizes GAO's assessment of AOC's overall progress and remaining actions in becoming more strategic and accountable, including AOC's responses to specific recommendations GAO made in January 2003 and subsequently. To assess AOC's progress, GAO analyzed AOC documents; interviewed AOC officials; and relied on the results of related GAO reviews, including reviews of the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC). AOC generally agreed with GAO's assessment of its progress, but noted that 2 additional recommendations--1 on financial management practices and 1 on collecting worker safety data--should be considered implemented. GAO acknowledges AOC's efforts in these areas, but maintains that further steps are necessary to fully implement these recommendations. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-407/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-407.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-407/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-407.pdf GAO-07-407 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-407 Other Written Product GAO-07-407; Architect of the Capitol: Committed, Sustained Leadership Needed to Continue Progress; Accountability Agency evaluation Architects Facility management Federal office buildings Financial management General management reviews Internal controls Personnel management Program management Strategic planning Capitol Visitor Center Project Volume 114 Page 1654 114 Stat. 1654 Volume 115 Page 560 115 Stat. 560 Public Law 106-398 Public Law 108-7
