State Department - Management Weaknesses at the U.S. Embassies in Panama, Barbados, and Grenada: Nsiad-93-190 (Paperback)


Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reported on the management problems and issues affecting personal property accountability, financial controls, contracting, and procurement systems, and other areas of management and administration at the U.S. embassies in Panama, Barbados, and Grenada. GAO found that: (1) problems in personal property management at the embassies have included lack of documentation that inventory verifications and property utilization surveys had taken place, inadequate separation of duties, and failure to fully document and follow property management procedures; (2) financial control problems and issues have included inadequate control over cashier receipt forms, inadequate documentation of consular collections, and system weaknesses to ensure timely collection of accounts receivable and liquidation of obligated funds; (3) each embassy has weaknesses in its procurement systems; (4) the amount of formal training provided foreign service national employees at the embassies in Panama and Barbados was insufficient in several functional areas and contributed to weaknesses in post management systems; and (5) inaccurate reporting by the embassies on their internal control and management systems has perpetuated some management problems.
