" The Small Business Administration (SBA) performs a range of significant activities intended to strengthen small businesses and relies extensively on information technology (IT) systems to do so. These systems are used to support loan accounting and track loans through origination, servicing, and liquidation. SBA has been attempting to modernize these systems for several years through its Loan Management and Accounting System (LMAS) modernization effort. The most recent iteration of this effort is a series of more focused development efforts, known as the LMAS-Incremental Improvement Projects (IIP). GAO was asked to describe the status of SBA's LMAS modernization effort and determine whether SBA has adequate processes and procedures in place to manage and oversee its LMAS modernization effort. In performing this work, GAO reviewed cost and schedule reports to Congress and assessed SBA's current management of the projects against best practices and relevant guidance. "
