Failure of these systems as a result of the Year 2000 computing problem could cause widespread disruptions in both government and the private sector. GAO has included the Year 2000 problem on its list of high-risk areas in the federal government. This testimony highlights the Year 2000 risks confronting the nation; discusses the federal government's progress and remaining challenges to correcting its systems; identifies Year 2000 issues in state and local governments; and provides an overview of the available information on the readiness of key public infrastructure and economic sectors. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-99-50/html/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-99-50.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-99-50/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-99-50.pdf GAO/T-AIMD-99-50 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-99-50 Testimony GAO/T-AIMD-99-50; Year 2000 Computing Crisis: Readiness Improving, But Much Work Remains to Avoid Major Disruptions; Y2K Systems conversions Public utilities Information systems Computer software verification and validation Computer software Strategic information systems planning Computer security Reporting requirements Data integrity Medicare Program Medicaid Program
