A review of Justice Department audit operations
concentrated on the Internal Audit Staff, one of three audit
organizations in the Departmetit. Findings/Conclusions: The
staff's primary emphasis was on the Federal Prison System,
although it represented only 14% of the Department's FY 1976
appropriations. Only 11 of 160 audit reports dealt with the Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration dnd the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, mainly because they have their own audit groups.
Limited coverage was provided for other Department agencies.
More coverage was thought to be needed for the Drug Enforcement
Administration and for the Immigration and Naturalization
Service. The Drug Enforcement Administration disclosed plans for
forming its own audit group. GAO questioned the advisability of
this move, citing the advantages of a centralized organization.
Recommendations: The Attorney General was asked to consider
whether a new audit organization was needed or whether
additional personnel should be provided to increase coverage for
the DLUC Enforcement Administration. (HTW)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacfs0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
