			Impact of GAO’s Work

Given the ongoing reductions in U.S. defense funding, a new relationship is evolving between the government and the defense industry. These programs are implemented by HUD, VA, FEMA, and other federal agencies. The Department’s major management systems for information, financial, and human resources management also need attention. For example, our report on FDIC’s Asset Management System is found in the section on “Financial Institutions and Markets.”

				Department of Defense: Corporate Information Management (CIM)

The Department of Defense has made little progress in implementing the recommendations in our September 1992 report.
