Timber sale accounting: Analysis of Forest Service's Proposed Timber Program Information Reporting System

Technical Report · Wed Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1986

OSTI ID:5960689

The Forest Service's proposed Timber Sale Program Information Reporting System will not be fully responsive to a complete cost accounting system that will compare actual costs and benefits. GAO believes the the Forest Service has placed emphasis on formatting a new series of external reports that will be of only limited use in managing the timber sale program. The program needs better management and better use of the existing accounting system.
