Memo fr AC/A.S dtd 2 Dec 155 to above addressees
1. Supplementing the above references submitted by the Acting
Chief, Audit Staff, the undersigned having returned to duty from the
field this A.Y. desires to submit the following comment.
2. was drafted by the undersigned and approved by the
Director in or er to place the audit program of confidential funds of
the Agency on the some basis as other departments of the GovernmVnt-
i. e. to have an administrative audit (internal audit) by the Ccegq troller' a
office and an independent and final audit by the Audit Staff similar to
that performed by the General Accounting Office for other Depart-nents of
the Government.
3. To accomplish this purpose the Chief, Audit Staff has been en-
deavoring to build up his operating personnel to what he considers at 25X9
least a minima necessary force of auditors. That minimnm force is con-
asdered a total authorized strewth of? for the Audit staff. ie has
found it difticult to recruit auditors to this me n r m authorized strength
of-in view of the expanding audit program of the Axe and the general
demand for audit personnel by other Government agencies. In vier of this
difficulty the audit program has been carried on in a diluted manner and
to further reduce the number of people on the job today would render the
program of little value and possibly subject the Agency to criticism
from the Congress and the Comptroller General to this affect. This would
undoubtedly result in action by the Congress to force final audit of
Agency accounts by the CAe era? ce 9nti.ng Office.
