Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General FY 2013 Audit Plan
Abstract
The Office of the Deputy Inspector General for Auditing provides independent and objective audit services to promote continuous improvement, management, and accountability of DoD operations, programs, and resources to support DoD in its defense of U.S. national interests. The FY 2013 Audit Plan identifies our ongoing and planned oversight of DoD organizations, programs, and activities, and its functions as an integral part of the DoD management system. To develop our FY 2013 Audit Plan, we evaluated DoD s strategic vision as outlined in the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review and the FY 2013 DoD budget; executive branch priorities; statutory requirements; previously identified IG management challenges; Government Accountability Office (GAO) high-risk areas; and internal risk assessments. Additionally, we conducted outreach with DoD senior leaders, military commanders, and congressional representatives to identify pertinent and emerging areas requiring our oversight attention. Accordingly, for FY 2013, our primary oversight is focused on the following risk areas: major defense acquisition programs; contract management; financial management and the Secretary s auditability goals; business systems modernization efforts; cyber security; equipping and training the Afghan National Security Forces; health care; and joint warfighting and readiness. In prioritizing our oversight to address these risk areas, we designed the planned audits to improve the safety and welfare of Service members and their families, support the Department s Overseas Contingency Operations, improve operations and financial reporting, identify improvements in ongoing efficiency efforts, and identify new efficiencies.
