Quality Control Review of the Assistant Inspector General for Audits Office of the Inspector General, National Reconnaissance Office

摘要

The mission of the NRO is to develop and operate unique and innovative space reconnaissance systems and conduct intelligence-related activities essential for the national security of the United States. The Director, NRO, delegated the authority and responsibility to conduct audits within the NRO to the Inspector General (IG), NRO. Personnel within the NRO office of the Assistant Inspector General for Audits (OAIGA) execute the audits within NRO. The OAIGA is responsible for enhancing economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability within the NRO by performing independent audits of NRO operations and programs. The OAIGA also makes recommendations to correct problems and deficiencies identified by the independent audits, keeps the Director, NRO, informed, and promotes effectiveness in the administration of NRO operations and programs. The NRO Inspector General Audit Policy & Procedures Manual, dated May 1, 2000, and the Draft National Reconnaissance Office Inspector General Audit Policy & Procedures Manual, dated March 2003, provide guidance on the operation of audits within the NRO OAIGA.
