Summary
VA annually spends billions of dollars on IT each year to support the delivery of veterans' benefits and health care services. IT acquisition reform legislation, commonly referred to as FITARA, strengthens the authority of CIOs to provide needed direction and oversight. . The specific objective was to determine the extent to which VA's IT and IT-related assets and activities are being procured with CIO approval. GAO is recommending that VA implement automated controls into relevant contracting systems to ensure CIO review of IT procurements.
