In 1995, GAO first designated the Department of Defense's (DOD) business systems modernization program as "high-risk," and continues to do so today. In 2004, Congress passed legislation reflecting prior GAO recommendations for DOD to adopt a corporate approach to information technology (IT) business system investment management. To support GAO's legislative mandate to review DOD's efforts, GAO assessed whether the department's corporate investment management approach comports with relevant federal guidance. In doing so, GAO applied its IT Investment Management framework and associated methodology, focusing on the framework's stages related to the investment management provisions of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-538/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-538.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-538/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-538.pdf GAO-07-538 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-538 Other Written Product GAO-07-538; Business Systems Modernization: DOD Needs to Fully Define Policies and Procedures for Institutionally Managing Investments; Best practices Defense cost control Defense procurement Information technology IT acquisitions IT investment management Management reengineering Program evaluation Program management Risk assessment Strategic planning Business planning Policies and procedures GAO High Risk Series Title 10 Section 118 10 U.S.C. 118 Title 44 Section 3504(a)(1)(B)(vi) Title 44 Section 3506(h)(5) 44 U.S.C. 3504(a)(1)(B)(vi) 44 U.S.C. 3506(h)(5) Title 50 Section 404a 50 U.S.C. 404a Volume 118 Page 1811 118 Stat. 1811 Public Law 108-375
