Army Materiel Command Spent Millions Without Knowing Total Costs and Benefits Gao ID: IMTEC-86-18 June 20, 1986

GAO reviewed the Army Materiel Command's (AMC) management and control of the projects associated with its computerized Commodity Command Standard System (CCSS).

GAO determined that AMC has modified and expanded CCSS in violation of Army regulations that require: (1) complete and accurate economic analyses; and (2) tracking and reporting of project costs. GAO also found that AMC: (1) did not require reviews of completed projects to determine if expected benefits were achieved; and (2) could not demonstrate whether expected benefits were being realized from the millions spent annually to modify and expand the system.
