The head of each Federal agency is responsible for establishing appropriate internal audit controls over the agency's funds, property, and other assets under the provisions of the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 66a). Four audit groups in the Department of Transportation are to be consolidated into a new Office of Inspector General under the Inspector General Act of 1978. Our review was limited to the Office of Audits because it alone is now re- sponsible for performing reviews of internal financial opera- tions within the Department. The other three organizations 1/ are responsible for external audits of the activities of contractors, grantees, and other recipients of funds from their respective organizations. The Office of Audits' professional staff numbers 82, which is a decrease of 23 positions during the past 5 years including a decrease of 17 in fiscal 1978. The three ex- ternal audit groups have a total of 293 auditor positions-- 22 more positions than 5 years ago. 108421 1/The Office of Accounting and Audit of the Federal Aviation Administration, the Office of Program Review and Investiga- tions of the Federal Highway Administration, and the Office of Administration of the Urban Mass Transportati n Adminis- tration.
