Farm Credit Administration Office of Inspector General Semiannual Report, April 1, 2002 Through September 30, 2002

摘要

This semiannual report to the Congress summarizes the activities and accomplishments of the Farm Credit Administration (FCA or Agency), Office of Inspector General (OIG) and covers the period April 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002. Our efforts were directed toward performing audits, inspections, and evaluations of the FCA programs and operations; conducting several investigations; and providing technical assistance and advice on FCA programs. During the reporting period, the FCA Board returned to full strength. Moreover, the Board members are engaged in healthy discussions about regulatory and enforcement issues facing the FCA. The Board members are laying the foundation for a collegial relationship that is vital to the organization. We believe that prior work that we performed on governance will serve as a building block for a strong Board. Under the Chairmans leadership, the FCA has made significant strides towards resolving agreed upon management actions. The focus on progress towards resolving agreed upon actions and recommendations at monthly Board briefings has resulted in corrective action on several long-standing issues and quick resolution of new agreed upon actions.
