GAO          United States
             General Accounting Office
             Washington, D.C. 20548

             Accounting and Information
             Management Division

             B-256360

             March 30, 1994


             The Honorable John Glenn
             Chairman, Committee On Governmental Affairs
             United States Senate

             Dear Mr. Chairman:

             You asked us to review various aspects of the Office of
             Inspector General (OIG) at the Agency for International
             Development (AID), including the OIG's independence, the OIG's
             audit and investigative coverage of AID's programs and
             operations, and the relationship between the OIG and AID
             employees. On September 14, 1993, we briefed your office on
             the results of our review. This report summarizes that
             briefing and subsequent discussions with your office.

             Our review was designed to evaluate the GIG's management and
             operation. Accordingly, we

                 examined the GIG's policies and procedures for planning and
                 conducting its work,

              -- identified the audit work that the 0IG planned and
                 performed in AID's high-risk areas and in areas with
                 internal control weaknesses (as reported by the Office of
                 Management and Budget, us, the OIG, and other sources), and

              -- reviewed a sample of 10 audit reports and 28 closed
                 investigations.

             Also, at your request, we reviewed certain concerns the
             American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) raised in its
             February 20, 1992, letter to the AID Administrator, including
             its concerns over the GIG's use of management representation
             letters in conducting audits. On October 1, 1993, we
             discussed our work with your office and representatives of
             AFSA.
