OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL M E M O R A N D U M DATE: November 28, 2000 TO: Chairman FROM: Inspector General SUBJECT: FY 2001 Audit Plan I have attached a copy of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Audit Plan for FY 2001. The plan identifies Commission programs and operations that we are planning to schedule for audit during FY 2001. We have organized the plan into three categories: 1) ongoing activities; 2) planned audit activity; and 3) unscheduled activities. Items in the last category will be initiated only if time and resources are available. The focus of our planned audit work will be the Commission's FY 2001 financial statement, security of the Commission's Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, IT capital investment planning, and auction budgeting and financial management. In addition, the OIG will continue to focus on Commission contractors by performing audit of timekeeping practices and incurred costs. Further, the OIG will follow-up on audits of IT security at the Consumer Center and management of the purchase card program. We look forward to your continuing support. H.
