The Honorable William French Smith                ll 11111 li

The Attorney General
                                                     119636
Dear Mr. Attorney General:

     Subject: Reapproval of the Immigration and Naturalization
               Service Accounting System Design
               (GAO/AFMD-82-125)

     It is my pleasure to reapprove the accounting system
design for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The
system was originally approved on April 18, 1967. Subsequent
to that approval the Immigration and Naturalization Service
made significant changes to the design. As a result, the
Assistant Attorney General for Administration formally re-
quested our reapproval of this system on September 22, 1982.

     In evaluating the system design, we looked at the auto-
matic data processing aspects primarily to determine their
adequacy as to internal controls, audit trails, data integ-
rity, and consistency with the accounting specifications.

     To maintain the approved status of the design, planned
changes should be discussed with our representatives and, if
deemed siqnificant, submitted formally for approval.

     We suggest that the Department's internal auditors
periodically review the system to assure that it is operating
in accordance with the approved design. At some future date
we will examine selected aspects of the system and advise you
as to whether it is functioning effectively and in accordance
with our approval.

     We appreciate the association with the Department of
Justice and the Immigration and Naturalization Service staffs
and the hospitality extended during our review.

                                  Sincerely yours,




                                  Comptroller General
                                  of the United States

cc: Mr. Guv K. Zimmerman
     Director, Audit Staff
     Department of Justice
