Book Description
The audit was requested by the U.S. Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to ensure the U.S. mission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (the Mission) was in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and to improve administrative operations. The Inspector General, DoD recognizes the Ambassador's personal involvement, support, and cooperation in this audit. The original audit objective was to determine whether DoD funds at the Mission were properly managed and used. During the audit, we coordinated with the Office of the Inspector General, Department of State, and, at the U.S. Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's request, we expanded the audit objective. The expanded audit objective was to determine whether the administrative functions at the Mission were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and were properly managed. In addition, we reviewed management controls over the administrative functions at the Mission.

Book Description
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the operations of the Department of State's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to determine how differences between its authorizing legislation, the Foreign Service Act of 1980, and the Inspector General Act affect the State OIG work. GAO found that the Foreign Service Act included several important differences from the basic Inspector General Act, which permit the new State OIG to continue to operate like old OIG rather than functioning like the new independent statutory OIG established in other agencies. GAO believes that more independence is needed in the State OIG, because it found a number of situations in which the independence of the State Inspector General (IG) inspection, audit, and investigative functions could have been impaired. In addition to doing traditional audit functions, OIG is required to inspect and audit each foreign post and domestic unit at least once every 5 years. GAO believes that management, not OIG, should be responsible for these routine inspections. The role of the independent audit organization should be to evaluate how well agency management is carrying out its basic responsibilities, including its routine monitoring and assessment functions. In addition, GAO found that OIG has little operational control over investigations into allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse. It relies on the Office of Security to conduct these investigations. GAO believes that this constitutes an organizational impairment which has caused delays and a poorer quality of investigations. Finally, GAO found that government audit standards are not being complied with and that the quality of OIG work has suffered due to the lack of staff training and experience, severe time constraints, and the lack of documentation.

Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed 27 federal entities' progress in establishing offices of inspector general (OIG). GAO found that: (1) all 27 entities complied with 1988 legislation requiring them to establish OIG by appointing inspectors general (IG) or acting IG and preparing policy documents describing OIG missions and functions; (2) most of the entities made appropriate revisions to policy documents that did not always properly reflect OIG roles and authorities; (3) IG were the only professional staff assigned to OIG at eight entities, and IG lacking OIG staff resources intended to use management or other federal agencies' staff or rely on contractors to accomplish their plans; (4) lack of permanent staff could prevent OIG from developing in-depth and comprehensive knowledge of agency programs and subsequently limit effectiveness, and reliance on management staff could detract from OIG independence and objectivity; (5) the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) identified the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's (PBGC) executive director and the Legal Services Corporation's (LSC) president as the entity heads to which IG must report, although the 1988 legislation required that OMB list the chief policymaking officer or board as entity head; and (6) both the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Federal Election Commission were able to resolve their concerns that establishing OIG would conflict with their missions by ensuring that IG focused on auditing and investigating entity activities, rather than becoming involved in program operating responsibilities.
