Excerpt
Excerpts: The Office of the Comptroller maintains records for over 13,000 items of property for 21 5 cost codes. As of April 30, 1999, these items of property had an original cost of over $202 million and a current book value of over $61 million. From July 1998 through March 1999, GPO's Office of the lnspector General (OIG) conducted a performance audit to evaluate the adequacy, efficiency, and effectiveness of the management controls over property within the GPO. This OIG audit focused on the current GPO Property Management Program operating under GPO lnstruction 810.1 IA, which was issued in 1981 and remains in effect today. The GPO lnstruction designated the Comptroller as the Property Management Officer.
