Need for Increased Emphasis on Timely Contract and Grant Closeout Activities

In October 1975, GAO reported that the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration had a large backlog of expired contracts and grants which had not been closed out. That report recommended that Labor close out completed contracts and grants and reduce associated advances outstanding and unliquidated obligations more promptly to improve the accuracy of quarterly closeout reports. This follow-up survey examined the progress that Labor had made through March 31, 1978.
