handle is hein.gao/gaobackko0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Accounting and Information Management Division B-252641 September 3, 1993 150029 The Honorable Jack Brooks Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: In your January 29, 1992, letter, you asked us to assess the management and operation of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the Department of Justice. Specifically, you asked whether the OIG was discharging its responsibilities without interference from the Department's other divisions and bureaus and in a manner similar to other executive branch OIGs. We recently briefed your office in detail on the results of our work concerning the OIG's audit, investigation, and inspection functions. This letter summarizes those briefings. As agreed, our General Government Division will report on the current jurisdictional controversy between the OIG and the Department's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), a controversy concerning which office should investigate allegations of wrongdoing by the Department's attorneys, criminal investigators, and law enforcement personnel. Our review was designed to evaluate the OIG's management and operation. Accordingly, we -- examined the OIG's policies and procedures for preparing its annual audit and inspection work plans and for conducting investigations, -- identified the work the OIG planned and performed in the Department's high-risk areas and in areas with internal control weaknesses (as reported in the Department's Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act reviews and by GAO and the Office of Management and Budget), and -- reviewed the Department's recommendation follow-up system and a sample of 19 audit and inspection reports and 10 closed investigations. GAO/AIMD-93-53R Justice OIG 10D~ S 0)
