Fitzwater Deputy Director for Administration Fiscal Year 1985 Reports to the President and Congress under the Financial Integrity Act 1. Attached, for your signature, are reports required by the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982. These reports are for submission to the President and Congress by 31 December of each year. 2. The reports comply with the reporting requirements of the Act for both internal controls and the accounting system in operation during fiscal year 1985 as certified to by the responsible senior officials. Although we have identified no material weaknesses in internal controls to be reported, we do believe it is appropriate to acknowledge the four loss of fund situations of relative significance which are cited in the reports. Basic data on these cases is summarized for your information in an attachment. 3. Also attached are the fiscal year 1985 certifications from the Directors of Intelligence Community Staff and National Intelligence Emergency Support Office, the Deputy Directors, Heads of Independent Offices, and the Director of Finance.

Memo from Inspector General dated 7 Dec 1983, same b ject su d. OMB memo 85-5 dated 22 Oct 1984, subject: "Second-Year Implementation of the Financial Integrity Act" In accordance with Section 2 of the Federal Managers' Integrity Act of 1982, I have reviewed the internal accounting and administrative controls for the Intelligence Community (IC) Staff for the Fiscal Year ended 30 September 1985. Within the IC Staff I have limited delegations of authority to manage resources to the highest practicable level, which I believe strengthens the internal control system of checks and balances in assuring sound management of Staff resources. I believe the IC Staff to be in reasonable compliance with the standards prescribed by the Comptroller General for accounting, auditing, and internal accounting and administrative control systems. To the best of my knowledge, the activities taking place during FY 1985 within the IC Staff have been appropriately approved and carried out in accordance with law and Agency regulations. Obligations are valid and are supported in accordance with Agency regulations. Expenditures have been properly approved. Due care has been exercised to protect resources from misuse and misappropri- ation. Activities have been managed in an efficient and effective manner, and the internal accounting and administrative controls are operational and effec- tive.

This paragraph provides the certification required of me by paragraph e(2) of reference to be used in support of the relevant portion of the Director's 1985 Report to the President and Congress in conformance with the Act. The certification which follows is based upon my assessment, with due attention to the guidelines provided by paragraph e(l)(a) of reference, of the operation of internal accounting and administrative controls throughout the Agency: "To the best of my knowledge, during FY 1985 revenues and expenditures applicable to operations for which the Agency is responsible were accounted for, certified and recorded properly so that reliable financial and statistical reports could be prepared and accountability of assets maintained." 2. The subject Act also requires that the Director's Report include a statement on whether the accounting system of the Agency conforms to the principles, standards and requirements prescribed by the Comptroller General for observance by Federal Agencies. The certification which follows to support that portion of the Director's 1985 Report is based upon my assessment of staff evaluation of the conformance of the Agency accounting system with such principles, standards and requirements: "To the best of my knowledge, Comptroller General principles, standards and related requirements for accounting systems have been and continue to be used as the guidelines against which the Agency Accounting System has been developed and is being maintained."
