Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the organization and operation of the Department of Justice's audit and investigative activities to: (1) determine how they differ from those authorized under the Inspector General Act of 1978; (2) offer a recommendation on whether Justice should have a statutory inspector general (IG); (3) address Justice's objections to establishing an IG; and (4) provide information on the different methods of structuring a Justice IG. GAO found that, unlike other federal agencies whose investigations and audits are carried out by personnel and organizations that are independent of department operations, Justice's audit and investigative units are not organizationally independent, which could affect their impartiality. Impairments exist because the five bureau-level investigative units determine what items are significant enough to report. There is also no assurance that the Attorney General is promptly apprised of the work of the investigative units because reports must pass through many officials to reach him. GAO found that there is no one person or office responsible for coordinating audits and investigations. Justice's opposition to an IG concern the impact of an IG on departmental law enforcement operations and the ability of the Attorney General to exercise broad-based discretion in directing Justice's investigative, prosecutorial, and litigation functions. However, the act specifically requires an IG to: (1) comply with Comptroller General's standards for audits of federal establishments, organizations, programs, activities, and functions; (2) promote efficiency and effectiveness in a department's programs and operations; and (3) alert an agency head of serious problems rather than become involved in an agency's line of effort. The audit and investigative units selected for inclusion in Justice's IG office will determine the nature of the role of the IG within the agency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed the progress statutory Inspectors General (IG) have made in improving federal government operations and strengthening internal audit and investigative activities. GAO noted that IG: (1) saved the government over $100 billion over the past 10 years; (2) significantly decreased previous internal problems such as fragmented and underfunded audits, lack of audit independence, and lack of audit report and resolution procedures; (3) generally complied with standards regarding audit planning and staff qualifications; (4) need to improve project supervision, internal control testing, report clarity, and organizational planning; and (5) further strengthened their effectiveness through revised guidance on audit resolution, legislation requiring audits of agencies and state and local governments which receive federal funds, and establishment of a council to coordinate efforts to implement governmentwide fraud and waste prevention. GAO believes that the executive branch and Congress may wish to further strengthen federal audit and investigative activities by: (1) retaining effective IG during administration changes; (2) involving IG in developing IG candidate lists; (3) supporting the council's efforts; (4) ensuring IG emphasis on prevention of fraud and abuse; and (5) establishing IG at the Department of Justice, Department of the Treasury, Central Intelligence Agency, Office of Personnel Management, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
