Abstract:

In response to your concerns, we assessed the Foreign Military Sales program to determine the changes needed to improve the viability of the program. Specifically, we evaluated 1 whether the Foreign Military Sales program has achieved full recovery of its administrative costs, 2 the Defense Security Cooperation Agencys basis for making administrative account adjustments, and 3 the effectiveness of various Foreign Military Sales reinvention efforts in terms of cost recovery.
