Department of the Interior System of Recording, Billing, and Collecting Accounts Receivable

Gao ID: FGMSD-77-66 February 3, 1978

At September 30, 1976, the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and U.S. Geological Survey reported accounts receivable from the public of $45,026,000.

There is a need for more accurate recording and reporting of accounts receivable and better followup of delinquent accounts. At one or more of the agencies reviewed, recorded receivables were not accurate, allowances were not established for uncollectible accounts receivable, and delinquent accounts were not promptly identified for followup actions.
