In 1995, GAO first designated the Department of Defense's (DOD) business systems modernization program as "high risk," and GAO continues to do so today. To assist in addressing this high-risk area, the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 contains provisions that are consistent with prior GAO investment management and enterprise architecture-related recommendations, and requires the department to submit annual reports to its congressional committees on its compliance with these provisions. The act also directs GAO to review each annual report. In response, GAO assessed the actions taken by DOD to comply with requirements of the act. To do so, GAO leveraged its recent reports on various aspects of the department's modernization management controls, and it reviewed, for example, the latest version of its business enterprise architecture and the associated transition plan and architecture federation strategy. GAO also interviewed key officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-705/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-705.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-705/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-705.pdf GAO-08-705 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-705 Other Written Product GAO-08-705; DOD Business Systems Modernization: Progress in Establishing Corporate Management Controls Needs to Be Replicated Within Military Departments; Defense capabilities Defense cost control Enterprise architecture Federal agency reorganization Information technology Internal controls IT investment management Program evaluation Program management Reporting requirements Risk management Standards Strategic information systems planning Strategic planning Systems analysis Systems conversions Systems evaluation Systems integration Systems management Business planning Business transformation GAO High Risk Series 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) Volume 118 Page 1811 118 Stat. 1811 Volume 122 Page 3 122 Stat. 3 Public Law 100-181 Public Law 108-375
