Summary of Findings: The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Management of Confidential Case Funds and Telecommunication Costs

摘要

The OIG initiated this audit to evaluate how the FBI and its field divisions: (1) request and track confidential case fund payments, (2) handle telecommunication expenses that support undercover activities, and (3) control and oversee the confidential case funding process. During this audit, we interviewed officials at FBI headquarters and reviewed documents relating to confidential case funds. We also visited five FBI field divisions where we analyzed written procedures, assessed methods of processing and overseeing the confidential case funding process, and spoke with FBI personnel.
