Audit reporting and followup policies and procedures also need to be strengthened. GAO recommends that as part of the effort to reorganize the internal audit, the Comptroller of the Currency should provide internal audit with the additional staff resources necessary to effectively accomplish its organizational responsibility, and that the techincal skills of the internal staff, particularly in the area of computer auditing, should be improved. Furthermore, the 1970 internal audit administrative circular should be updated to (1) clarify internal audit's operational relationships, particularly with the external auditor and other internal review groups, and (2) reemphasize internal audit's broad scope of audit responsibilities. Other recommendations are to provide additional information in internal audit's annual program plan to make it conform with Office of Management and Budget guidance, to instruct the head of internal audit to immediately develop written reporting procedures to assure that internal and external audit recommendations are receivingappropriate attention. The Comptroller of the Currency agrees with these recommendations and will make every effort to see that they are achieved. A letter is appended. (Author abstract modified)
