The Gov.rnment Printing OtZice's IGPC's) internal audit
proqram could be imp,.oved by: assuring tuat the audit planning
process is performed with a minimum of influence from the
Printinq Office's operational anagement, esta)lishing ctitz.ia
for acceptinq special projects, and cccrdinatirg Flans with the
Data Sy-tems Service flanagement Review Group.
2indinqs/Conclusions: The Directoz of Audits has recently
developed a plan which matches resources with audit Flans and
uses a plioricy system. Altv'iugh the Cifice of Audits (OA) had
previously conducted repor.t followupE, nc formal system had been
established, and foilowups had not recently teen pertcroed. A
formal followup system iias been instituted, but special projects
requested by various management officials have reduced CA's
ab.-lity to meet its responsibility for making iul-scc~e audits.
Recommendations: The Public Printer shculd: take action to
assure that tk.e selection of audits and coverage of auditable
areas are determined in an independent manner, making the final
decision on the plan after the Director oi AudiLts has developed
tni proposed plan usinq suggestions from operating citicials;
direct the CA to process all special management xeguests throug*a
him so that the requests can be [laced in p ropr pcrzpective in
relation to Office of Audit goals and limited resources; and
direct the Director, Data Systems Service, to coordinate planned
reviews with the Director of Audits and to Frc.vide the CA with
copies ot rinal reports. (Author/SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaawhr0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
