Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Veterans Administration's (VA) financial management systems to: (1) identify and describe the automated financial management systems; (2) identify internal control and automatic data processing (ADP) problems in selected systems; (3) review VA initiatives to strengthen financial management; and (4) rank the importance of the automated financial system projects now being developed. GAO found that: (1) VA managers were not getting reliable financial information needed to effectively carry out and report on the financial aspects of VA program and administrative operations; (2) VA did not maintain a consolidated agencywide ledger; (3) the systems that support planning for medical facility construction projects did not produce timely, accurate information needed to develop effective plans; and (4) budget development timeframes precluded the use of the actual financial results of the preceding year's program. GAO also found that: (1) VA financial management systems did not support effective internal controls; (2) general ADP controls did not support the accurate processing of financial information; (3) tests of new or modified computer programs were not adequate to ensure that programs were implemented properly; (4) controls over information received for processing could not ensure that all information was actually processed; and (5) VA planned a 5-year ADP and telecommunications project for the development of 52 major automated systems and 5 major procurements of computer and other ADP equipment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reported on the Veterans Administration (VA) financial management processes to: (1) identify and describe the major VA financial management processes and the primary information on which they rely; (2) identify and assess the major financial management implications of any weaknesses in this information; (3) determine if and how VA ranks veterans' needs with service-connected health care problems in its medical care and construction planning; and (4) identify and assess the processes VA uses to rank major construction projects. GAO found that, although VA has a basically sound financial management process, it does not have reliable, timely, and useful cost and work-load information to support this process because: (1) it has not set realistic, measurable goals for its medical care and construction programs and lacks the information to assess results against such goals; (2) its financial management systems design is inadequate; (3) its automatic data processing system has problems; (4) its health care planning and programming process has not yet produced a realistic, national health care strategy for establishing both budget and construction priorities; (5) its major construction planning and prioritization process has no clear focal point of accountability below the Administrator; and (6) the data from the planning process and from the facility engineer's assessment of each facility's physical condition are inadequate. GAO also found that VA systems do not provide the per-patient clinical and cost information required to allocate hospital operating budgets based on the types of patient illnesses, and consequently: (1) hospitals lack information about their actual costs of treating specific patients or illnesses to help identify ways to control those costs; (2) VA cannot readily track patient drug usage and doctor prescription patterns, making it difficult to manage drug usage and costs; and (3) the primary medical program cost reports that VA uses for planning, budgeting, and budget execution are based on unreliable quarterly estimates.
