Unvouchered Expenditures

Executive Office of the President Fiscal Year 1991 Expenditures Subject to Audit Were Proper Gao ID: AFMD-93-63 May 17, 1993

The law allows the President and the Vice President to spend unvouchered appropriated funds on the following: the operation and maintenance of the White House, official entertainment expenses, and subsistence expenses of persons in government service while they are traveling on official business in connection with the President's or Vice President's travel. GAO reviewed statistical samples of unvouchered expenditure transactions by the Executive Office of the President during fiscal year 1991 and found that these expenditures were made for authorized purposes. On the basis of the sample results and GAO's other tests of accounting records, GAO concludes that the unvouchered expenditures of about $8 million were proper.

GAO found that the: (1) unvouchered expenditures made by the President during FY 1991 were proper; and (2) 1991 presidential and vice presidential unvouchered expenditures were financed as part of the $44.5 million appropriated for the White House executive residence, special assistance to the President, and Vice President's official residence.
