IT Systems Annual Assessment: DOD Should Improve IT Fraud Risk Management Practices , September 28 , 2026
From the report: "IT is critical to the success of DOD’s major business functions. These functions include such areas as health care, human capital, financial management, logistics, and contracting.
The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2019, as amended, includes a provision for GAO to conduct assessments of selected DOD IT programs annually through March 2029. GAO’s objectives for this seventh review were to (1) examine what progress selected DOD IT business programs have made on cost, schedule, and performance; (2) assess the extent to which DOD has implemented key fraud risk management, software development, and cybersecurity practices for selected programs; and (3) describe actions DOD has taken to implement legislative and policy changes that could affect its IT acquisitions."
