REPORT BY THE

Comptroller General

OF THE UNITED STATES

Better Information Management

Could Alleviate Oversight Problems

With GSA's Construction Program

GSA's Public Buildings Service's methods
to track its construction and repairs and
alterations projects are an inadequate com-
bination of automated and manual efforts
which are not effective as a management
oversight tool. This tracking system is not
capable of providing complete and mean-
ingful information on project costs, scope,
and schedule variances and cannot provide
reliable oversight reports because of design
deficiencies and errors in the automated
system's data base.
GAO recommends a number of steps that
the Administrator of General Services and
the Commissioner of Public Buildings Ser-
vice need to take to improve the tracking
system's reliability and GSA's overall infor-
mation resources management.
GSA and the Public Buildings Service con-
cur with GAO's conclusions and recom men-
dations, and actions have been taken or
promised to correct the identified problems.
