Audit of the Indian Health Service's Internal Controls Over Monitoring of Recipients' Compliance with Requirements of the American Indians Into Psychology Program

摘要

The Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency in the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), delivers clinical and preventive health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. IHS provides care in more than 700 health care facilities, including hospitals and outpatient clinics. An IHS facility can be operated by IHS, an Indian tribe, or a tribal organization. Our objective was to determine whether IHS had adequate internal controls to monitor recipients compliance with certain requirements of Psychology Program scholarships.
