Modification of authorities on
internal controls for procurements on behalf of the Department
of Defense by certain nondefense agencies (sec. 805)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 825) that would repeal the requirement for the Department of Defense Inspector General to submit periodic follow-up reports on internal controls for procurements made by the Department through specified federal agencies. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees expect the Inspector General to determine the need for follow-on reports on the basis of a risk assessment that weighs the vulnerability of inter-agency contracting against other contracting vulnerabilities. |

Modification of authorities on
internal controls for procurements on behalf of the Department
of Defense by certain non-defense agencies (sec. 825)
The committee recommends a provision that would repeal the requirement for the Department of Defense Inspector General to submit additional follow-up reports on internal controls for procurements made by the Department of Defense through other federal agencies. The Inspector General has indicated that previous reviews have shown a significant decrease in reported problems with regard to such procurements. The committee concludes that the Inspector General should have greater flexibility to direct audit resources to areas in which they are most needed.
