     Subject: Financial Institution Regulatory Agencies Should
               Perform Internal Audit Reviews of Their Examina-
               tion and Supervision Activities (GGD-82-5)

     The purpose of this report is to bring to your attention
a shortcoming in the internal audit activities of the Federal
tinancial institution regulatory agencies. The Federal regu-
lators' internal audit groups generally do not review and
evaluate the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of their
agencies' examination and supervision activities. Significant
agency resources are devoted to these activities, and they are
an important function in each agency.

     We have completed a series of reviews of the internal audit
organizations and functions at the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor-
poration, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the National Credit
Union Administration, the Federal Reserve System, the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Farm Credit Administra-
tion. We conducted these reviews to ensure that the agencies'
activities were receiving adequate internal audit scrutiny. We
assessed each agency's internal audits against generally accepted
internal auditing standards formulated for private industry and
government. We enclose a listing of the resulting reports (see
p. 7).
