Cost of Training Granted to Foreign Students under the Military Assistance Program

Gao ID: ID-76-79 May 17, 1977

The costs of providing grant-aid training to foreign students under the Military Assistance Program have been understated, and the method of reporting costs has been inconsistent.

The fiscal year 1976 program provided training to 6,280 students from 43 countries at a recorded cost of about $23 million. New costing procedures, which will more accurately account for training costs, are to become effective in fiscal year 1978; but costs will continue to be understated because the new procedures do not provide for accounting for all related costs.
