Accomplishment of FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Undercover Operations

摘要

This report reviews the accuracy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) undercover operation accomplishments that are reported to the Congress and the public. This report also contains certain additional information relating to FBI undercover operations as discussed in the objectives, scope, and methodology section. The review focused on the accuracy of a random sample of accomplishments reported during fiscal year 1982. In the sample reviewed, the FBI accurately reported about 76 percent of the number and 88 percent of the dollar amount of its accomplishments in accordance with its criteria. The FBI is revising its reporting and review procedures, and it is expected that these revisions will improve the accuracy of FBI accomplishment reporting. It is recommended that the FBI also revise its reporting procedures to separate narcotics seizures from other recoveries because of the nature of narcotics and their growing importance.
