Hyde Chairman Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter responds to your November 12, 1998, letter regarding our audits of the expenditures of the Office of Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr (OIC-Starr).' Specifically, you asked whether these audits (1) disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls, (2) determined that the statements of expenditures were reliable in all material respects, and (3) disclosed any instances of noncompliance with selected provisions of laws and regulations that would be reportable under generally accepted government auditing standards. Our audits of the expenditures of OIC-Starr found the following: * Our tests of internal controls, which were for the limited purpose of determining our procedures for auditing the statements of expenditures, disclosed no material weaknesses. * The statements of expenditures were reliable in all material respects. * Our audit tests of compliance with selected provisions of laws and regulations disclosed no instances of noncompliance that would be reportable under generally accepted government auditing standards. 'Independent counsels are required to report their expenditures for each 6-month period in which they have operations. Under 28 U.S.C. 596(c)(2) (1994) and Public Law 100- 202, we audit the expenditures and report our findings to appropriate congressional committees. GAO/AIMD-99-36R Independent Counsel
