Recommendations

Recommendations for Executive Action

Agency Affected Recommendation Status
Department of Justice The Attorney General should incorporate in future Department guidance on the implementation of the internal control process, a requirement that the components provide field office managers with the opportunity to participate in the process. Their level of participation may vary to some degree based on the extent to which a component's operations are decentralized.
Closed – Implemented
The Department's revised guidance addressed field managers involvement in the Financial Integrity Act process, GAO does not believe it is fully responsive because the guidance only states that consideration must be given to field office implementation of programs and functions. GAO intends to evaluate the implementation of the guidance in 1985.
