Description

In FY 2008, the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) identified three material internal control weaknesses over financial reporting — financial management system functionality, IT security controls, and financial management oversight. VA is developing a new financial system — FLITE — but full implementation is not expected until 2014. This report determines whether VA corrective action plans and oversight are appropriately focused on near-term actions to provide improved financial information. It addresses (1) the nature of the internal control weaknesses identified in the VA FY 2008 financial audit report and how long they have been outstanding, (2) whether VA had plans appropriately focused on near-term corrective actions, and (3) whether VA had appropriate oversight mechanisms in place to help assure that near-term corrective action plans are implemented on schedule. The report reviewed corrective action plans for significant deficiencies underlying 2 of the 3 material weaknesses and performed additional analysis for two underlying significant deficiencies. Includes recommendations. Tables.
