In this report, the term "IB" includes not only securities firms but also those bank holding companies. with securities affiliates or business divisions that assist clients in obtaining funds to finance investment projects. GAO agreed to provide publicly available information on the roles IB played in designing, executing, and participating in certain structured finance transactions, IB, and Federal regulators' oversight of these transactions, and the role that the IBs' research analysts played with Enron and Global Crossing.

Gov't. agencies are increasingly reliant on contractors to execute their missions. The gov't. needs strong controls to provide reasonable assurance that these contract funds are not being lost to improper payments (fraud and errors), waste, and mis-management.

This testimony describes the: (1) contracting cycle and related internal controls; (2) Defense Contract Audit Agency and its role in performing contract audits for fed. agencies; and (3) risks associated with ineffective contract controls and auditing.

Immigration Application Fees

Costing Methodology Improvements Would Provide More Reliable Basis for Setting Fees

By: Jeanette M. Franzel

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is responsible for granting or denying immigration benefits to individuals. USCIS charges fees for the millions of immigration applications it receives each year to fund the cost of processing and adjudicating them. In Feb. 2007, USCIS completed a study to determine the full costs of its operations and the level at which application fees should be set to recover those costs. USCIS's new fee schedule increased application fees by a weighted average of 86%. Almost 96% of USCIS's FY 2008 budget of $2.6 billion was expected to have come from fees. This report reviews the methodology USCIS used in its fee review and controls in place over collection and use of fees. Charts and tables.
