Bureau of the Census

Management Issues Require Prompt Attention Gao ID: T-GGD/AIMD-94-171 June 9, 1994

This testimony discusses the following two key Census Bureau management issues: the Bureau's recent efforts to recover unliquidated obligations and the Bureau's impending reorganization. GAO concludes that the Bureau needs to address its financial management problems promptly. Sound financial management is essential to maintain the Bureau's credibility with Congress so that it can obtain the money it needs to plan for the mammoth job of reforming and carrying out the year 2000 Decennial Census. The Bureau intends to address other management issues by its reorganization, but the success of the reorganization in achieving specific measurable results remains to be seen.
