Book excerpt: Excerpt from Program Areas Within the Jurisdiction of the Committee on Ways and Means That Are Vulnerable to Fraud, Waste, Abuse, and Mismanagement: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Oversight of the Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session; February 3, 1993, Serial 103-1 I am pleased to be here today to discuss 7 areas included within gao's high-risk program and several crosscutting issues that affect these and other problem areas throughout the government. Specifically, I will focus on program weaknesses, agency corrective actions, and recommendations for future actions by the Congress, the administration, and agency officials in areas involving the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Internal Revenue Service, Medicare, the Customs Service, Asset Forfeiture, the Resolution Trust Corporation, and Superfund. Many of the problems in these areas exist because of deficiencies in financial, information systems, and general management practices. Further, these problems are common not only to the 7 areas, but represent pervasive problems throughout the government. The 7 are among the 17 high-risk areas that we have identified as particularly vulnerable to fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. Over the 3 years since we began the high-risk program, we have conducted over 300 assignments in the 17 areas and issued about 450 reports and testimonies discussing our findings, conclusions, and recommendations for resolving the problems identified. Last month, we issued a high-risk series of reports that summarizes the results of our work in the 17 areas and a transition series that discusses major policy, management, and program issues facing the Congress and the administration.
