Another purpose is to determine if the system has improved since the GAO's audit report in 2006 was issued. Ultimately, the study will determine if further improvements need to be done with the new procedures in place and what part of the system's reservations module needs to be addressed. The scope will include: a background of the defense travel system, GAO audits on the system's inadequacy, an analysis of flights information found in the defense travel system reservation module compared to flights information found in one of top commercial travel companies, Expedia, and an analysis of flights displayed in the defense travel system and if the flights are properly displayed in accordance with set standards.
