Actions Needed To Strengthen the New Defense Internal Audit Service

Gao ID: FGMSD-77-11 January 27, 1977

A survey was conducted of internal audit operations of the Office of the Secretary of Defense to determine whether internal audit operations were efficiently and effectively carried out and whether practices and procedures conformed to standards prescribed by the Comptroller General. During the survey, the Defense Audit Service was established to carry out functions and responsibilities previously carried out by three other offices.

Before the reorganization, internal audit policies, plans, and operations generally complied with requirements for an effective internal audit system.
