Activities of the Energy Information Administration

Gao ID: 123708 March 22, 1984

GAO discussed the Professional Audit Review Team's (PART) evaluation of the Energy Information Administration (EIA). GAO noted that EIA has made progress in several areas in spite of budgetary and staffing resource constraints. PART found that EIA is strengthening internal quality controls and assessment activities to better ensure its objectivity and independence. EIA is evaluating its staff needs, enhancing its annual planning activities, and determining the usefulness of its energy data and publications. Regarding EIA objectivity, PART found that EIA continues to obtain expert review of and comment on its work. A continuing, serious problem is maintaining and improving the accuracy and credibility of energy information that EIA gathers and disseminates.
