White House Travel
Gao ID: AIMD-96-19R January 23, 1996In a 1994 report (GAO/GGD-94-132), GAO used 29 criteria to evaluate financial management and procurement operations at the White House Travel Office. GAO reported that the Travel Office had developed policies and implemented procedures consistent with 20 of the criteria and had begun, or agreed to take, action on the remaining nine. This report follows up on the status of financial reforms at the Travel Office. GAO found that as of August 1995, the Travel Office had implemented all but three of the criteria. For those three, the Travel Office had not (1) billed customers within its stated 15-day requirement, (2) paid vendors within its stated 45-day requirement, and (3) done bank reconciliation regularly.
