Our audit objective was to assess the U.S. Department of Commerce’s management and implementation of the Grants Enterprise Management System (GEMS) project. We found that bureaus have procured multiple systems to manage grants; bureaus did not follow Department information technology investment review and governance processes before contracting for alternative grants management systems; the GEMS project should improve its management of requirements, cost, and schedule; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s transition to GEMS provided lessons for future transitions.
