GGD-95-132R 1 (1995-03-30)

handle is hein.gao/gaobackuf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States G3 O General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 General Government Division B-259809 March 30, 1995 The Honorable John M. Spratt, Jr. House of Representatives Dear Mr. Spratt: In response to your request, we have reviewed selected aspects of the operations of the Office of Inspector General at the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC-OIG). Your request was made in your previous position as Chairman, Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumer, and Monetary Affairs, House Committee on Government Operations. Reflecting our agreement with Subcommittee staff, we focused our review on the RTC-OIG's purported mishandling of specific allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in the RTC. Specifically, we looked at the RTC-OIG's handling of 22 allegations of wrongdoing reported to it. Our objectives were to (1) review specific allegations the Subcommittee referred to us, (2) review other allegations brought to our attention from various sources including current and former RTC employees and other congressional staff, and (3) determine whether the RTC-OIG's handling of these allegations pointed to systemic shortcomings in RTC- OIG operations that might warrant further investigation. It should be understood that the universe of specific allegations we checked was selective and small, and therefore not necessarily representative of the OiG's workload. In reviewing the 22 allegations, we did not seek to re-do the investigations. Instead, we looked into each case to the extent we believed necessary to assess the RTC-OIG's handling of it. In doing so, we applied a consistent set of criteria in assessing the RTC-OIG's response. We asked initially whether the RTC-OIG had begun an audit or an investigation, and if not, what action it had taken and why. To assess the completeness and thoroughness of the RTC-OIG's responses, we reviewed available documents on the RTC-OIG's response to each of the allegations, including internal RTC-OIG communications, support for findings reached, draft reports, final reports, and documents GAO/GGD-95-132R, RTC Inspector General
